Things We've Learned

Well, we've learned some valuable information in the last couple of days regarding these two beautiful darlings.

We've learned that Big Sister now has all her 6 year molars in and she has ZERO CAVITIES!!!!  We are so very glad she loves going to the dentist for check ups!

We've learned that Little Sister is now 36 inches tall and 31 pounds.  She is doing GREAT for a new two year old.

And, after a late night trip to the IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital ER, we've learned what to do in the future if a certain two year old decides to put anything up her nose so far that it cannot easily be removed (and mommy prays we NEVER have to deal with that again)....

To remove objects from the nose...plug the opposite nostril, blow into the mouth as if giving CPR and the pressure will shoot the foreign object right out!  (Who would have guessed?)  OR, you can go to the doctor and they will fish it out with some long instruments resembling knitting needles.  (It is also helpful to have an ipod handy while waiting for paperwork after the bead is removed.)

AND, we've learned that when a certain two year old puts a bead up her nose so far that you cannot possibly get to it and so you are feeling like the worlds most awful mommy, others in the ER will share with you stories of their children putting things up noses and in ears...and it makes you feel at least a little better.
