This is the story: He was in the bath with Jackson, like normal. (Although I should probably know by now that the bath with both boys in it is a bad idea.) I was out in the kitchen cleaning when Harrison's little naked body came running out. I told him to get back in the bathroom because he was wet and he just kept saying gibberish and then "nose". So I take him back in the bathroom and am going to wipe his nose, thinking he has a booger that is bugging him, when Jackson pipes up and says he stuck the transformer in his nose. Oh, so maybe his nose hurts. After more questions Harrison doesn't answer Jackson lets me know Barricade's head is in his nose. What the? Why would you do that? I didn't ever figure that out. But we wrapped him in a towel and attempted to get him to blow it out. Not happening. So we get the tweezers, and then the crying and panic starts. He was fighting us. Which means boogers and sniffling and flailing. Ya, we thought for sure he was going to suck it up into his brain and we were going to be telling this story to some ER doctor who would think we were horrible parents. But for 2 seconds we got him to lay back and hold super still and Patrick, with amazing skill, managed to grab it with the tweezers. Then we explained that we don't put things in our noses, because they get stuck and then we might have to go to the doctor to get them out. To which Jackson pipes up and asks "Even fingers?" "...Um, especially fingers! Unless you want to lose them." His eyes almost popped out of his head! Wow, check us out! Two birds with one stone!

Oh Jennie don't tell me these type of stories. I'm dreading that stage.
Seriously... you are a much calmer mother than I am since we both know I would have freaked out on multiple levels. :)
I'm laughing so hard! I think just about every kid has to experiment with sticking things up their nose. Just like cutting their own hair with a scissors.
PS. Jennie I took your advice and got a magic eraser for the crayon and it worked wonders! Thanks!
HILARIOUS!!! I am sure not for you during that moment but now!?? TOO FUNNY!! Glad you were able to get it out and also teach them not to pick their nose! Poor Barricade.
I serious laughed out loud-- too funny, life with boys never dull :)
