There’s a saying, “You have a bat in the cave.” It means, “There’s a booger sticking out of your nose.” You know sometimes you have a dry one that moves when you breath. You can’t feel it and you just keep talking while that little thing steals all the attention away from what you are saying. Luckily we have friends who tell us when there are bats in our caves. In Moxie’s life Strider and I are those friends. She has had some snot lately, perhaps she caught something from one of the other daycare rug rats–who knows. But we have a variety of tools to remove mucus from our daughter’s nostrils. We have the squeeze/sucker ball from the hospital, we have another from a kit we got at a baby shower, we have yet another sucker that came with the saline drops we got for her nose when we were flying to Florida. We also have a snot suck (a.k.a. The Nose Frida) which I personally found absolutely disgusting and now can’t live without. However, with all the power of kleenex, face wipes, three squeeze/sucker balls and the Nose Frida–I can’t for the life of me pry this bat from Moxie’s cave. It is just stuck there laughing at me.
She is making the sweetest faces and hand gestures and sounds tonight–but all I can focus on is this damn booger. Poor girl has such a flake for a mom. Poor girl’s mom also took a picture to share.
