Tonight it was covered in Spaghetti sauce. The Hubby HATES when kids get messy while eating, I lecture him on letting them be-- don't need eating disorders in a house where love revolves around food.So, she's shoveling as hard as she can go-- that's how a princess eats you know, and she chokes a little. And coughs.
Mom alarm immediately goes off, "Hubby, something's stuck in her throat, you can hear it in her cough!"
Calm Hubby, "Yeah, she probably tried to swallow too much"
Me, impatient that he does NOT have Mom radar, "Look at her! She looks terrible!"
She's breathing, her airway is not blocked, but her eyes look odd (you know that look kids get before they get the flu that keeps you home from your first hair appointment in 6 months) and she's rubbing her face like chiggers are burrowing under her skin. Thick, red sauce is spreading from ear to ear from off of the back of her hands.
Irritatingly calm Hubby, "She's ok, there's just something stuck between her mouth and nose"
(that's OK in your book?)
He prompts her to cough.
All of the boys are demonstrating how to cough.
She's looking at us like we've all gone mad.
And then she sneezes... and a little piece of noodle comes out her nose.
Pretty gross.
I lift my Baby Bolognese up from her chair and take her to the tub.
When she was all fresh and clean and
giving her daddy some cuddles, she sneezed.....
THIS
Being a parent is disgusting.
ewww...
ReplyDeleteI'll agree with your title after that post!
OMG! I'm still laughing (sorry). My son stuck a pinto bean up his nose once & we wound up having to go to the emergency room to get it out. Funny, but not. Then once he put something in his ear & the same routine followed. Some kids are just like that I guess.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is a cutie-patootie.
My daughter INSISTS that she doesn't ever want to be a mother for just that reason. Then she usually sticks her butt out and asks me ever so politely to wipe it for her. I decline!
ReplyDeleteThat photo of your daughter is spectacular. I'm wondering what your camera is...just learning mine.
Thanks for all your kind words. Means alot!
YOu could HEAR the something between her nose and her throat?
ReplyDeleteYou are GOOD.
Ewww. And you just had to take a picture of it, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteBeing a parent is crazy. My proof is that the minute we see our boys making a vomit-like lurch my hubby and I immediately put our hands under thier mouths. Is that nuts, or what???
Good grief.
Blech! Ewwww! Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! (breathing deeply...thinking of kittens) That had to feel awful in the nose! Poor all of you!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteit may be disgusting, but at least it's humorous!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you could HEAR that piece of noodle between her throat and her nose!
That just elevated your mothering prowess in my eyes.
You were already good. But that is like twilight zone freakish and cool. :D
Oh yeah ... just remembered WHY my post isn't up yet. It' isn't because I forgot to click on send or whatever. .. it's because this blog has that feature where you approve the comment first. I THOUGHT I had posted a comment on this post already. I just couldn't figure out why it wasn't up. Figured I had screwed up.
ReplyDeleteGROSS!!!!
ReplyDeletePoor little kid!

ReplyDeleteThese really are gross little creatures aren't they?
Omigosh. That's hilarious. But the first picture us absolutely darling.
ReplyDeleteOh! Finished the Book Thief. Plan to do a review soon. LOVED it. Thank yOU!!!
That is just priceless! And I couldn't even read anything for a few minutes cause I was exploring your playlist! I've recently discovered Corinne Bailey Rae and she ROCKS! I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteWow. That's scary and hilarious all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteMy son stuck a popcorn kernel up his nose and when I was brushing his teeth, it fell out.
Wow, that stayed intact, though, she's good, your Baby bolognese!!! It sounds like she's a wonderful eater; I would love if that were my girlie. She only likes to shovel dirt in the garden ... oh well...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment over at my blog.
So, you have obviously made friends with your Nikon d70. How have you done it? I am manual-phobic. Luckily, my husband is a manual junkie or I wouldn't know which end to point! I just got a new one for Mother's Day...just in the getting acquainted phase.
ReplyDeleteYeah, as parents we experience lots and lots of gross things, don't we? I wonder where that noodle WAS all that time!
ReplyDeleteMy girls are big enough to wear my jackets...you know, my sweatshirt jackets? I didn't realize I had so many with white on them. Anyway, I've had them for a long time and I might get a faint spot on them occasionally that I wash immediately. But when I let my daughters wear them (like if they get cold in a store, etc), the proceed to get irremovable spots and stains on them immediately. I just don't understand how they do it. My eleven year old had my jacket for two hours in Costco. She got bright yellow mustard stains down the front and lots of little black marks all over the sleeves (even on the inside) and arms and even on the back too, and none of these stains come out with bleach. How is that possible? I am truly stumped.

That? Is amazing. Still trying to figure out the physics of how that would actually end up in an airway...I probably shouldn't think too much about it though.
ReplyDeleteicky.
ReplyDeletekid's are just gross.
Hey Melissa, did you stop accepting comments? I wanted to tell you your 'ku was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThat is so stinkin' HILARIOUS!!!! Even if she sneezes noodles, she is still a princess!!!
ReplyDeleteLMAO. Monkey Girl discovered if she shoved Cheerios up her nose, she could still breath and BONUS... whistle through her nose!! I wish I had a video of that.
ReplyDeleteThe noodle is precious and disgusting at the same time.
