It's all about the boogers!

I have a confession to make:

I am OBSESSED with boogers. I cannot stand it when Lily's nose has a booger in it, or if I can tell by the way she is talking that her nose is stuffed up. I MUST get the boogers out of her little nose, no matter what the cost. Now, Lily HATES it when I go after her nose. She screams and cries and says "OUCH, IT HURTS!" (when I know, in fact, it does not hurt.) I try to explain to her that I am doing a good thing. She should THANK me for helping her breathe. Every once in a great while she WILL thank me, but usually she will reply (thru her tears) "All done breathe!"

But, the "booger sucker" is a part of our lives. I use it at least 3 times a week and that is just the way it goes. I have actually used it on her in the middle of the night while she was sleeping -- cuz I just couldn't handle the noises those things were making rattling around in her nostrils. So, this picture was taken a few months ago when Lily found another use for this baking utensil. Just looked like a giant booger sucker to my girl! Her latest retort is "I hode the booder sutter, momma. I do it like a big girl, all by yourself."

*Funny: Lily just came into the room and looked at the picture and said "Oh wook! It's a pitcher of Yiddy and the booder sutter, dats funny!"*
