Today I did something I never thought I’d do.
Sunny and I got out this afternoon to plant some flowers while the kids were napping. We’d been outside for an hour or so and I hear the garage door open and I see Joshua standing there. Knowing he was supposed to be napping, I walked up to him to see what was going on. He was standing in the doorway with a little bit of blood coming out of his nose. I quickly picked him up and asked him what was wrong.
“I stuck part of my Peyton Manning toy up my nose.”
For Easter, Sunny and I gave Joshua a little Peyton Manning figurine. It’s one of those replica Starting Lineup type figures with Peyton posed in full-throwing motion. As you can see from the picture, the figurine comes fully equipped, even down to the smallest detail, like the quarterback hand-warmer / towel attached at the belt. Well, that little towel broke off of our figurine the other day. I tried my best to jam it back in there, but apparently it didn’t work. Today, for reasons that are still unbeknownst to me, Joshua decided to put Peyton’s towel up his nose. I had to use the tweezers to dig it out.
Just another adventure in parenting, I guess.
already & not yet 
Oh me…I can relate to this! For some reason, my kids decided to wait until they were about 2 1/2 to start sticking things up their noses. So far they’ve attempted carrots and beads. 🙂 I’m glad you got the towel out without having to go to the ER. 🙂 Never a dull moment!
I know you’ve been there, Anna! A couple of weeks ago, we were in the van and Joshua took his gum out and stuck it up his nose. What triggers this kind of thinking? Who says, “You know, this gum tastes good in my mouth, but think about how good it would be in my nose!” Crazy!
that’s the funniest thing i’ve heard today. i laughed out loud. fortunately we haven’t had any “nose” incidents….yet!
Oh my! DId Joshua have any explanation at all?Just wait until you see what Jackson sticks up his nose!!!
No explanation, Fran. Just a very pained expression on his face! And I don’t even want to know what Jackson’s going to get into!
I remember shoving Reese’s Pieces up my nose as a kid. They didn’t melt down my nose, but back and into my throat! Gross!
