i was not having a very fun day at work, but i get to work on the baby floor when terry takes her break, and this might have been the best part of my day today
except...
stephanie came into the kitchen to find the tweezers in the first aid kit. she said "kiara has a cheeto up her nose and lolly said to try to get it out with the tweezers." (kiara is about 19 months old). and i said "you don't need tweezers, just cover up the other side of her nose and blow in her mouth. savannah used to put stuff up her nose all the time, and that's what the doctor told her mother." and then i was like "bring her over here to do it! i wanna watch!"
so she went back and got kiara and brought her over to the baby floor, and i was like "want me to do it?" and she handed her right over. so i laid kiara on my lap, put my finger over the side of her nose that didn't have cheetos in it, and blew in her mouth. it didn't work, and kiara looked a little surprised, but wasn't upset at all, so i tried it again and the thing moved out a bit (not quite far enough to grab it), so i tried one more time and VOILA! out it came!
it was NOT a cheeto, though, it was a piece of orange peel that had been in there since breakfast.
fun times. i love my job.

That is awesome! It's always stressful when someone sticks something too far up the nose. Once rig stuck a metal ball up there. I got it out with a magnet!
You're brilliant, Dawn!
