When the small S feels like the big S

[rednest]

My firstborn blows her nose a lot. Now I know this is a victory of a kind. Kids need to blow their noses, need to really *learn* about it and do it themselves. So the empowerment is cool. But this constant F'ing blowing. It's driving me F'ing nuts. Not a lot of snot comes out either and so it's just kind of this obsessive thing. The bit about it

Mine sniffs all the time. Big snotty sniffs, little sniffs. *It* drives me crazy. I dream of him blowing his nose, but now, not so sure.

Suck it up...ha, ha

J generally just eats his snot. Joy of joys. He doesn't like to blow his nose, and he sorta pretends he doesn't know how. Ok, kid. You know what white blood cells are and how they work in the body, but when they die and leave your body through your nose you don't know how to blow them into a kleenex?! I don't get it. I'm just glad he doesn't seem to produce much because it's such a challenge.

I love how the photo goes with the post

What a great picture.
K still eats her buggers.
I know how it is when you try to ignore something. It's so crazy hard. N talks in her sleep and I can't sleep if I hear her. I can't close the door to my room because I get claustrophobic and they don't sleep with the door closed either, sometimes I can zone it out, but never when I'm too tired.. If you figure out how to zone out let me know..
