What happens when you mix a little boy who is supposed to be taking a nap and mommy's folic acid vitamins?? Nothing good!!! I told him to lay down and take a nap; shortly thereafter, he came to the top of the stairs saying his nose hurt. I started up the stairs and smelled vick's vapor rub, cruel parent that I am, informed him that it was his own fault he rubbed too much on and told him to go back to his bed. Fast forward to the afternoon, I began to notice him sneezing a lot; like 3 to 5 sneezes every 10 minutes or so. He came to me and said his nose hurt. I looked and noticed that it was bulging a bit on one side right at the bridge of his nose. I laid him down and looked up his nose and noticed some white stuff. I made him blow, but nothing was coming out, so I thought once we get home we can suck it out. Well, that didn't work. I brought Aubrey upstairs by my bed and asked what was in his nose. He pointed to the folic acid tablets; I asked him how many; he replied five. Well, to make a long, agonizing story short, He blew the one in the picture below out of his nose the next morning, which cleared the airway in his nose, and then blew another out with the help of Daddy's homemade extractor made from a paper clip *shudder*. Anyway, Aubrey now says he will not put things up his nose. We know that will only last as long as he doesn't find anything that fits so perfectly like the folic acid tablets!!

Well, I am happy to say we lit our first fire of the season (in the fireplace that is). We are enjoying this cool weather immensely! Scout is especially enjoying it; he is super hyper right now. He loves the cold weather with all that fur of his!! That is about it for now. I will catch things up soon. Hopefully it won't take a month to post next time!!
