little yellow balls

This morning at breakfast Lizzy thought it would be fun to put Kix cereal up her nose. I guess they smell better than they taste. Or so she thought.

Kix is ball-shaped, slightly larger than a pea. And yes, her sweet-smelling cereal got stuck up there.

I didn't see her do it. But I wondered at how she kept pointing at her nose and saying "kix. kix." It wasn't until she was digging deep in her nostil and saying "help" that I notice the little yellow offender lodged snugly within.

Nice! Now how to get that out? Tweezers crossed my mind, but...yeah right.

Granted, Kix softens when wet, but it was definitely stuck. She can't exactly blow her nose, and she thought it was way funny when mommy was trying to teach her to do so.

Eventually she sneezed and a virtual eruption of yellow goo and snot spewed forth. There were not one, but two kix balls up there!

I would so love to know what she was thinking.
For mommy, if not so scary it would have been hilarious.
But we're laughing now.

Oh yeah, and no more kix. at least for a while. Mommy must recover.

Down wi' Diaper Duty

I just cleaned up the worst diaper duty. O. M. G. (Sorry future Lizzie if you're reading this) But I simply must ask: What goes on in her little body to produce such a huge mess?

In this case, the poor little Dora pull-up diaper didn't have a chance. As for her pants: to clean or not to clean, that is the question.

She even did the walk. You know what I'm talking about. Where the poopy kid walks on tip-toe with feet wide apart in a futile attempt to escape the load in his/her pants. Yeah, that one. (future Lizzie: breathe. I didn't capture a vid for youtube. that's right, deep breaths, one, two...)

OK, so it's not like she's an adventurous eater. She IS a toddler.
Recent staple items include:

• yogurt
• cheese
• bread
• corn
• peas
• cereal: kix, cheerios, rice crispies
• oatmeal
• pb&j
• and of course: any and all fruit

No, we're not vegetarians.

Actually, I have to limit her fruit b/c of this very messy reason. So she didn't OD on fruit in the last couple days, at least not that I'm aware.

I'm not one of those moms who busts out the wipes every time Lizzy touches something, so maybe she caught a bug?

Glad I could share this lovely experience with you. I feel so much better now.
