Can anyone guess what story THIS picture tells? May I be so bold as to point out that her left nostril is a little wider than the right? Yes, apparently Laura finds LEGO fun in putting a piece up her nose! After probably a year of legos in our house pretty much on a daily basis and no problems to speak of, never say never, because Laura decided now would be a good time to experiment. Please note the time of the picture is 9:36am (this will be important as the story goes along).
Let me set this up. I am at the computer trying to get some things done this morning, trying to hold down my honey nut cheerios and all of a sudden I hear a SCREAM - yes the one you know something is REALLY wrong, not just the 'oh no what is it this time' kind. I peek my head out and for the first time Nathan actually DOES look innocent. Laura proceeds to run to me and tell me she put a lego up her nose. Now, I am in total disbelief because I can not possibly have the kind of child who does this, right?! So, I ask her what color it is and she says orange. I ask what she was doing and she says she wanted to put a flower on her lego house.
Cut to waking Mike to a screaming child and a panicked mother's voice. Thankfully we were able to lodge the little orange circle from her nostril without a trip to the emergency room. I have to add that my theory about scrapbooking supplies being useful in any situation is reinforced once again. Note to scrap moms that the 'Making Memories' tweezers are good for dislodging legos from a child's nose.
So all the legos are then put in a box and put out of reach because she will not be allowed to play with them by herself. I go about my morning and try and get some more things done. I am back on the computer at noon and Laura is sitting nicely in the living room playing with her leapster. Then that scream again. I wonder what it could possibly be this time I am looking right at her. Sure enough Laura found a little pink lego this time and decided to put it up her right nostril. Now I am just plain MAD! I mean come on not even 3 hours earlier she is crying and saying she will NEVER do that again and here we are with another lego up her nose!?! This time I take her in the bathroom and just tell her to blow really hard - out flies the lego and she is much more affected by my anger than anything. (The time of this picure is 12:08pm)
Now, I am finishing up posting this on Friday because Wednesday night Laura came down with the stomach flu and has been really throwing up for two days. She seems to be getting better so I guess I will have to forgive the lego incidents to some sort of bizarre flu bug that affected her brain right?!? Oh well, just another day in the life right?
