She put a BEAD up her NOSE!!
Lord give me strength to make it through age THREE! Luckily, it was not pushed too far up and I was able to get it out! Yikes! What a way to start your day! LOL! Yesterday watching Mary Poppins she was doing her best to "Step in time!" and she got her stool and was jumping on and off and fell and bumped her chin....I could go on and on.
Oh Eve!!!! I'm sorry but I'm chuckling a bit!!! My DD has not done anything like that YET!!! But, I wouldn't be surprised!!! When my younger sister was three (there is 8 years between us), she started smelling not to good!! No one could figure out what it was! Not her breath or body odor, just a smell emanating from her!!! Finally, my parents took her to the doctor! That's where they found one of those small animal shaped sponge erasers that they used to put with the little chalkboards!!! She had shoved the whole darn thing up her nose God only knows how long before!!!! As Rosanna Rosanna Danna said "it's aways something"!!!!
I remember when I was a nanny and the little girl but a piece of sequence (sp?) up her nose. We went to the doctor and everything...oh the joys of parenthood. I know Dylan will try something like that soon enough! Hope the rest of your day is a little more uneventful.
I put a rock up my nose as a little kid. I was copying my friend trying to balance it under my nostril. I tilted my head back and breathed in. Up it went. I don't think it came out for a long time. I finally sneezed it out in the bathtub one day. I still have the pebble. It's funny now, but my mom wasn't laughing too hard then. I can't wait to see what my two year old comes up with! Ame
LOL Eve, BTDT!! Griffin did that at preschool when he was four. We had to go to the doctor to get it out though! Ugh!
LOL Kolby has put lots of things up his nose. The 2 that really stand out are a McDonald's french fries and a Skittle. They both up there pretty far, but he sneezed them out within minutes. I remember when I was 4 I put a peanut up my nose!
My dd at age 3 loved to ice skate on my mothers hard wood floors in her socks! This gave me a minor stroke everytime she did it! I could always envision her flying right through her picture window, LOL> Well she never flew through the window BUT she did fly over the dog and broke her leg, and let me tell you there is NOTHING worse than 3 year old in summer that has a cast to her hip and can't walk!!!! It is funny now that she is 8 but that was a miserable summer!!!
Oh Kenna, my Griffin also went through the "Sock Skating" thing when he was 2 or 3. His final injury wasn't as bad as your daughters but he did crash into a wall discoloring his two top teeth. One of them ended up getting knocked out a few months ago in yet another minor accident and the other just fell out a couple weeks ago. LOL.
Lol, I can't help but laugh. Soooo happy the bead didn't go in any further, my gosh! The joys of parenting.
I've known kids who put beans, peas, little rolled up *balls* of bread......if it's small enough, they will stick it in their nose!
I read the funniest thing in Reader's Digest a long time ago. A dad brought his son to the emergency room after the boy stuck a little tire from one of his cars up his nose. The doctor got it out and the dad and boy left. On the way out, the dad started wondering how in the world the boy got it stuck in his nose. A few minutes later the doctor had to get it out of the dad's nose. LOL.
ROFL!
You guys are too much, lol!
Ok, I feel sooo much better reading all of your responses! Thanks! LOL!
Eve, I thought of Shannon when I saw this post. One day she stuck a pea up her nose at my mom's house, they were shelling fresh peas. We didn't know anything was wrong until the next day, then she told us what she did. She told the dr. she would never do it again;) She was also 3 and the worse thing is she does anything for a laugh.
The twins stuck corn up their nose i don't remember the boys doing anything like that = )
With us it was Randy sticking a blue mini-m-n-m up his nose. He was 16 months old and it was the day after Christmas. I was sitting on the couch and he sneezed a few times then said, "Mama, blue, m-m." I looked down at him and he had blue running out of his nose from the coating on the m-n-m. Off to the er we went! He cried so hard when the doc examined him he ended up inhaling it and swallowing it. Kids! Glad the bead came out easily. Who was it that used a vaccume cleaner hose to suck a tic-tac out of their child's ear??? (I think that was someone here--or at M2M)
Been there, done that. Yes my now 16 year old stuck a bead up his nose when he was about 3 playing with beads - making necklaces with his big sister. Had to make a trip to the doctor to retrieve the bead.
LOL, Eve! When B was 3 she stuck a raisin up her nose. I had to take her to the ped. to get it out. Argh! Thankfully that was enough to teach her not to try it with anything else.
Just wait till you have a boy and they accidentally zip their penis up in their pants...I will take a bead in the nose anyday! LOL
From one of my very favorite Broadway musicals, Fantasticks: Here's the relevant verse (the whole song is also copied and pasted): Why did the kids put beans in their ears? No one can hear with beans in their ears. After a while the reason appears. They did it cause we said no. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Dog's got to bark, a mule's got to bray. Soldiers must fight and preachers must pray. And children, I guess, must get their own way The minute that you say no. Why did the kids pour jam on the cat? Raspberry jam all over the cat? Why should the kids do something like that, When all that we said was no? My son was once afraid to swim. The water made him wince. Until I said he mustn't swim: S'been swimmin' ever since! S'been swimmin' ever since! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Dog's got to bark, a mule's got to bray. Soldiers must fight and preachers must pray. And children, I guess, must get their own way The minute that you say no. Why did the kids put beans in their ears? No one can hear with beans in their ears. After a while the reason appears. They did it cause we said no. Your daughter brings a young man in, Says "Do you like him, Pa?" Just say that he's a fool and then: You've got a son-in-law! You've got a son-in-law! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sure as the June comes right after May! Sure as the night comes right after day! You can be sure the devil's to pay The minute that you say no. Make sure you never say... No! Don't know that I agree with the philosophy, but the song always makes me smile. The other one I really like is "Plant a radish, get a radish" Some of the lines include: While with children, It's bewilderin'. You don't know until the seed is nearly grown Just what you've sown. ... Plant a beanstalk. Get a beanstalk. Just the same as Jack. Then if you don't like it, You can always take it back! But if your issue Doesn't kiss you, Then I wish you luck. For once you've planted children, You're absolutely stuck! ... Every turnip green! Every kidney bean! Every plant grows according to the plot! While with progeny, It's hodge-podgenee. For as soon as you think you know what kind you've got, It's what they're not!
I love that first one, Ginny. Rofl Eve, you'll both look back and laugh one day.
BTDT just about a month ago, DD Alissa who is 3 1/2 put a bead up her nose. Scares the heck out of ya...at least like Sydney it wasn't to far up there and I got it out! Must be this age 3 thing. With my 2 DS's I never had anything like that happen. Lucky she is my last child, if I had her first there would have probably been no more kids for me. She is a handful!
My brother stuck the fuzzy grey part of a pussy willow from a dried flower arrangement up his nose and then had to have it removed under anesthesia because he was throwing such a fit and it was so far up there. My ds stuck part of a bagel in his and sneezed it out on the way to the dr. I couldn't believe how huge the piece was! How did that fit in there?
My sister used to stick cheerios up her nose. One day when we went to Busch Gardens, she found some berries and stuck them up her nose. I don't know what was going through her head, but it was funny. Good luck.
Our oldest DD stuck a bead from the bubble gum machine in her nose...It was part of the rings that you used to get out of the bubble gum machines...this was about 20 yrs ago Thank God they don't make rings like that any more. We had to take her to the base clinic in Kingville Tx. They had to have 3/4 people hold her down then they put her in a restrainer just to get it out. That MIGHT be why to this day she hates shots...shes now a mother of 2 little boys...who so far have put NOTHING in their noses but their fingers!!!
LOL Eve...anymore exciting finds? When I was in third grade, one of the boys put a pencil eraser up his nose. It was so far up that he had to take a trip to the ER with the school nurse. His parents met them there.
The only thing in her nose these days, is her finger! AGGH! LOL!
ROFL!
Like every 3 year old I know!
