Two days ago I was standing in my kitchen washing dishes. Kori had been eating lunch at the kitchen table, then went to the basement to play. A few minutes after she went down there she came back up with a surprise.
Kori, "Mommy there's a carrot in my nose."
Me, "Kori, you don't have carrots in your nose silly goose."
Kori, "Okay Mommy."
I laughed and continued on with what I was doing. Then stopped and thought about what she said. I called her over and checked her nose and didn't see a carrot, we both laughed again and went about our business.
About a half an hour later Kori has orange snot running down her face. I checked her nose again, this time with a flashlight, and sure enough there was a carrot in her nose. I looked at both nostrils but only saw one carrot. After trying for a couple minutes to get it out I made the decision to take her to quickcare and get it out.
After check in issues at the front desk we finally made it back to the Dr.
Having never been to the Dr. before Kori thought it was all cool and scary at the same time. Good thing she brought her Minnie mouse with her.
She got weighed, 29.8 lbs.
Minnie got weighed, .8 lbs.
Lol
She got her blood pressure checked, Minnie didn't because she was scared.
Then we went to the exam room and waited for the Dr. Dr. Stewart to be exact.
First he asked her what she did. She proudly told him she put a carrot in her nose. He asked her which side, and she pointed to her left nostril.
He looked in there
Yup there's something in there. He left to get tweezers and magnifying glasses.
When he came back she laid down, the nurse and I held her, and he got the big piece of carrot out. It got stuck a little bit, but it came out eventually.
She was so happy to have it out! We left and she got a Cinderella sticker and lots more attention. We had another long talk about putting things in our nose and drove home. End of story......
Nope it doesn't end until 8:30 the next morning. Kori was playing in my bed with Averie, I was in my bathroom brushing my teeth.
Kori sneezed and said, " Mommy, I got my other carrot out."
Yup she had carrot in both sides! Nope the Dr. didn't check the other side. I did but it was so far up there I didn't really see it. She slept all night with carrot up her nose!!!
The surprise piece of carrot.
So just in case your two year old ever sticks something up their nose learn from me and be sure to check both sides!!!!
