So, I was all ready for work yesterday, and quite proud of myself, as I’d used the time that Caleb was home (teacher development day) to help him out a bit more with his homework before work. With that accoumploshed, I had my acket on and was ready to go out the door. Just before I left, Abby came to me and said, “Daddy, I can’t get the seed out!” I asked what she meant, and, with a small tear, she pointed to her ear. I looked in, and, sure enough, she had put a popcorn kernel in her ear, and then had tried to fish it out with her little finger. This just resulted in her jamming it in farther – to the eardrum, actually. I saw that this would be a delecate extraction and made the decision to take her to the ER and see if they would be able to take out the offender. After 2 hours of waiting, mixed with about 10 minutes of trying, we were sent to the Regional Hospital (DECH, for those who live around here) to see the ear specialist there. Another 2 hours of staring at the ceiling went by and we got in to see him (he was quite busy yesterday, actually). After a quick flick with a pointy scary instrument, the kernel was extracted with no damage to the eardrum. None of this digging was without pain, so I hope that bby has learned her lesson with ears. first the hair and now the orifices. This one’s gonna be trouble. Don’t let the cuteness decieve you (I know, its hard, isn’t it).
awwwwwwwww, the poor wee thing. Glad she came to you before you left, though. I think if it were me, I would’ve kept it hidden much longer than she did, not wanting to get in trouble and all.
How’s a kid supposed to learn without these type of experiences. I’m sure you stuck things into stuff you weren’t supposed to huh, Corey
Oh I’m going straight to h-e-l-l for that one aren’t I.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
Bu, bu, bu, beer, beer, beer, beer!
LOL Mac! That’s what started the whole wee thing’s problem eh? (y)
How long are her eyelashes Corey? LOL All of my kids, unlike their mother, have long, long eyelashes. Seriously. My daughter looks like she’s in a mascara commercial with none on.
WELL- when Sammy was about three one of the temples broke on my eyeglasses and I just Super Glued them together until I could get back to the optometrist. I left the Super Glue on the kitchen table and went into the bathroom or something and when I came out Sammy had his eye Super Glued shut. OMG talk about a nightmare- so I can sympathize with you wholeheartedly unlike that mean Mac.
Both kids have really long, full lashes (as do I – drat!). We’re their mom’s bane! As a wearer of eyeglasses, I don’t find this to be an advantage. LOL.
Sounds like your kids are preparing themselves for the trials and tribulations of the big, bad world.
I have heard of parents who make their homes so germ-free that when the kids end up going to kindergarden with 20 other children they become down right debilitated, because their system gous into shock.
Glad to see that your kids can experiment knowing that Daddy’s safety net is there (smile)
