Nose blowsNose blows

Earlier this week – yet again – Jett began experiencing some nasal discomfort.  His eyes would water, he constantly had a finger up one nostril.  Finally, I asked him what was up there.

"Apple," he said.

We have a sack of apples on the countertop in the kitchen, but I certainly hadn’t given him one.

So we do the drill… get to a well-lit spot with Jett on his back, and I try to see what I can see.  Do some fishing with tweezers.  Nothing.

He goes back to playing.

Minutes later his eyes are more watery and he says "nose" to me over and over.

I put a Kleenex to this nose and he begins to blow.

This time I start to see something.  It’s bright and green and sparkly.

A couple more blows later and then I can finally grab the obstruction:

It was from a craft project Jude brought home from pre-school.  Jett wasn’t lying… it was an apple up there.

Ahhh… the sweet relief that comes from knowing you’re at full capacity again:
