So Graem has her first stuffy nose and I feel like I’ve let her down as a parent.  I know she got it from daycare, because I remember seeing all the boys there with snotty green noses.  It took every shred of strength for me not to just grab her and run away from the boogers!  Graem still seems happy, but every now and then has a confused look like she’s wondering why she can’t breathe.

We’ve tried using the booger bulb, but it doesn’t seem to do much besides make her cry.  I’ve even tried something my dad said he had to do to my brother and me when we were babies: put my mouth over her nose and suck!  Now I have yet another baby secretion to add to my list of poop and earwax and eyecrust to obsess about.  Shawna said that a friend of ours had this cool tube booger-sucker thing–maybe we will try to find one of them.

On a happier note, Graem grabbed her feet by herself today, and was transfixed by that for a little while.
