The Nose

Addison has been complaining all week about her nose hurting.  Each day I would inspect it & saw bats in her cave along with a bump/blister.  I've started using the humidifier in her room again thinking that would 'soften' those bats & get them out easier.  Last night she awoke & kept saying her nose hurt.  I got the flashlight & saw the same bats/bump.  I tried to clean it as much as I could, but you try sticking something up a 2 year olds nose (of course, it's okay for her to always have her finger up there)!  This morning I decided to take her to the dr instead of MDO.  We are planning a trip home next week & the last thing I want is her to be sick away from home.  Addison weighs 31lbs & is 36 inches tall!  The dr checked everything & all is fine except for the nose.  She cleaned it out really good with a q-tip & peroxide while Addy screamed her head off & I was pinning her down.  It was an awful experience.  However, afterwards I asked Addy if her nose still hurt & she said 'NO'.  There was lots of dried up dead bats in the cave.  She also found the source of the pain Addy's been complaining about - a pimple!  HAHAHA!  A pimple in my little angel's nose!  So, we have some ointment to apply 3 times a day & must run the humidifier for naps & bedtime until it's gone.  Bless her heart.

Luckily, we got moved from the sick-room to the well-room after a few minutes, since Addy was only having weird issues with her nose & all the other patients had complaints of sore throats, etc.  I was very happy because Alyssa was there too & we don't want her exposed to any germs (other than what Addy brings home)!  Before we moved, Addy was talking non-stop to anyone that would listen.  A lady came out with a baby in an infant carseat & Addy pointed out that there was a baby in the carseat like Alyssa. Then she said 'My carseat is in the vehicle'.  A couple of moms were very impressed & commented on how well Addison spoke & the big words she uses.  She was wearing her Dora shirt today & a lady asked her if she liked Dora.  Addison told her that she watches Dora on tv & that dada watches Jimmy Kimmel all the time!  LOL!  I couldn't stop laughing - neither could the lady that Addy told this to!  The Jimmy Kimmel thing just started this week.  Blake always DVR's it & then watches it when he gets in from work.  The other day he picked up the remote & Addison said 'Dada, you gonna watch Jimmy Kimmel?'  hahahaha  Is that good or bad??

Alyssa LOVES to sit up!  I can't wait to get the Bumbo from the lake in a couple of weeks.  I should have brought it home when we were there over summer, but thought we would be back to winterize before we needed it.  That didn't happen.  She rolls over now as soon as I put her down on her tummy & I've caught her watching cartoons with Addy a few times too!

Maybe I should start a new blog & only write about POOP & BOOGERS!
