Just thought I would drop by a humorous Willmer happening....
Today the girls and I were making sweet little charm bracelets from a kit Emma was given as a birthday gift. Everything was going well. Titus was munching on some plastic pretend scissors, Emma was focusing in on the perfect dazzling bracelet, and Addie was shaking her head (like you do when your trying to get water out of your ear), only she was doing it in the forward motion-not to the side. Then I noticed, she started sticking her finger up there too. I giggled thinking she was trying to shake a booger out of her nose. And so I asked her, "Are you trying to shake a boogie out?" She giggled and answered "No." I said, "What are you doing then?" She replied, "Trying to get out a bead, it's stuck." You may have thought I should have immediately known it was a bead, not a booger, after all we were working with beads. I thought we were in the clear for situations like these. You see in 6 years, none of my kids have stuck anything in their noses (and have had plenty of chances too), but boogies-those we have always had in great abundance. So, to me a booger made sense. Maybe the reason they have never stuck anything up there is because it was usually already occupied. Anywho, not panicking I asked her to cover the vacant nostril and blow out with the other. This girl cannot blow her own nose, so, the chances were slim, and I felt almost certain tweezers were in my immediate future. To my amazement it came shooting out and with such great force it pelted off my leg...causing all three of us to laugh out load. That little pink bead was tucked way up there so far, that I thought it was purple until it came out.

Thank you God for pink beads and for the safe evacuations of them :)

LOL!!
Emma and I just had a "this is how you blow your nose" lesson yesterday. So far, I'm not sure its taken, though we've also never had a situation in which it was needed like this.
Praise God it came out effortlessly!
Nose blowing lessons have never worked for us...hey, new good job out there for someone! That's why the bead popping out was such a surprise..I'm so glad Addie can come through in clutch moments!
Oh my goodness, I am so glad it had a happy ending, I was in a panic just reading about this experience! You handled it so well too, great job! I am thankful I haven't had to deal with anything stuck where it shouldn't be (lol, that just sounds funny), but if it ever does, I hope I'm as calm as you were! : )
Calm is not my middle name, so, to be so calm was a little odd for me! I'm sure if the bead had stayed stuck, you would have heard me panicking from your backyard. Seriously, Praise God I didn't have to drive to Kaiser to have it dislodged....my heart is starting to beat really fast just thinking about the possibility!!!
