So, how do you like to celebrate Mother’s Day?

We were just about to go to the emergency room this morning because Chickpea put a bead up her nose. Again. Well, last time it was a small, BB looking ball.

We tried getting her to blow OUT. If anyone has any tips on getting a three-year-old to understand how to do that, I’m all ears, because I can’t for the life of me figure that one out.

We then tried tweezers – or as Chick calls them – “The Machine.” She flipped out and would not stay still enough for us to use them without causing damage. We both tried while the other would hold her down. Didn’t work. We told her we had to take her to the hospital, where their Machine would be larger and scarier. That didn’t help the calming down department.

I finally googled “get bead out of kids nose” and found this mom’s post. And it worked like a charm. Thank you so much, nice mommy.

Kabob told her he was going to give her a funny kiss. He wrapped his mouth around the innocent nostril and blew hard. Out flew the bead from the other nostril.

He said it wasn’t too bad, he was just glad he had to blow out and not suck in.

So there you go. Long live parenting a three-year-old.

I need a drink.

    Definitely one of those for the books.

    So funny! I’m anxiously awaiting the next blog post where she wants to give you or Kabob a “funny kiss”. Thanks for the laugh. :)

    Oh yeah, we’ve been there. Nothing like your daughter in a straightjacket screaming while the doctor tries to get it out…not fun.

    Our trick (because yes, she did it again and again despite the trauma from the procedure, I think actually it traumatized me more): cover the other nostril and then blow in their mouth as hard as you can. That worked for us on numerous occasions, but just look out for because you get covered in all sorts of goo.

  4. Jodi says:

    Just read the other post so yeah, basically that! Sorry for the repeat advice!

  5. Awesome Mom says:

    Isn’t it awesome how the internet has changed mothering? I am glad that you were able to avoid a trip to the ER.

    Hilarious! I remember sticking a pea in my nose when I was little. Somehow it seemed like a good idea at the time. I relived that moment this week when I watched my little girl play with peas. I’m so relieved to know there’s an answer for i.t

    Hooray for a resourceful mom! (and happy mother’s day!)
    I’ve watched my hubby flush a bead out of a girl’s ear while we were in Mexico. Boy was she wet by the end, and I think she actually enjoyed the whole thing!

  9. Andy says:

    Hey, great tip. I stuck a bead in my nose when I was 4, which required a trip to the ER. Now that I’ve got a 2-year-old at home, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before he does the same thing. I’ll have to remember that blowing trick.

  10. Rachel says:

    When our oldest son turned 3 we noticed he was breathing funny in a way. Took him in for his 3 year medical check upand the doctor informed us he had something stuck up one of his nostrils. We had no idea. He told us that he had stuffed toilet paper up it and I remembered seeing some on the bedroom floor 2 weeks earlier. We had to go to the ear/nose/throat specialist to get it all out, blood everywhere, and Daddy almost fainted having to hold him down. Fun times.
