Finally, an update! Yes, a new post is being posted. And in honor of the tradition of our previous posts, I thought I'd share this.
Aaron, Ellie and I were at home for lunch. Aaron is preparing the lunch, I am sorting the mail and Ellie is watching a Fraggle Rock episode, when she turns and asks quietly, "Can you help me with my nose?"
"AWESOME!" I think. "She's asking for help with her boogies instead of digging for them herself. This is a good sign!"
I take over the lunch duties while Aaron assists with the nose blowing. I am picking off grapes from the stem when I hear Aaron exclaim, "Are you SERIOUS?!" Well, of course I am curious, so I go over to investigate. And yes, Ellie has blown out something huge and green out of her nose. She can definitely breath better now! The evidence of her nasal effort is nestled in the crease of the kleenex ... a green Polly Pocket shoe covered in snot. Are you SERIOUS?!? And I, being the good mother that I am, walked over to the kitchen counter to laugh while Aaron discussed the dangers of putting toys up our noses.
