Little Miss Mess


ESK is having a tough week. She's had an upper respiratory infection (a.k.a. snotty runny nose) for the past few days. I'm always chasing her with a snot rag to wipe her nose and now she knows to run away if I have a tissue or aspirator in hand. The little booger is getting smart.

Of course, with her clogged up pipe, she's lost her appetite and sadly, her cherubic cheeks are a little less round these days. And her sleeping has been totally off. And that means my sleep is off as well.

On top of that, I inadvertently tripped her while she was walking around with her SnackTrap. And now she has a red imprint of her SnackTrap on her forehead. The poor girl looks a mess.

oh, poor miss mess~ i hate boogers. i can't use aspirators anymore. i just shoot nasal spray and let it soften a little, then massage/smoosh it out. oh, how awful it is! i do hope that she will get better very soon.
isn't it amazing how we survived those first few months with lack of sleep?

It's the worst when the kiddies get sick. I'll pray that she gets better quickly and that you soon will be back to getting good sleep.
