SNOT

Warning this is a gross post!

SNOT!!!

It is everywhere!!

How can so much snot come out of a child so little?

Eli has a cold and is producing a large quantity of snot. I love that Eli wants to be cuddly but the snot is all over me, at first I changed my shirt, because wet snot is not fun, but after a few shirt changes I gave up the fight. The snot gets on my arms and drys! Gross!! Eli has snot all over also. He wipes his face and it gets in his hair, it drys on his face and in his eye browse. I have picked up a few toys that are nice and slimy and don't even ask about his paci. I try to keep ahead of the snot and keep Eli's nose wiped but that is Eli's lest favorite thing.

With all the flu stuff going around I felt like I needed to at least call Eli's pediatrician. The nurse agreed with me that it sounded like just a cold. They want us to use saline nose drops and suck his nose. While that is a great idea I just can't do it. I have never been able to suck his nose, that is one job I leave for daddy! The nurse also told me to try children's Zyrtec to help dry up the snot! Let's hope it works!

Oh, the fun of snot!
