One little, two little, three little beads up Hayden's nose!

Have any of you ever seen the movie "One fine day"? In this movie there's this little boy, he must be about 5 or 6 in the movie...that has the habit of shoving small things up his nose and getting them stuck there. When I first saw that movie I remember thinking...what kid puts something up his nose?! Not only once but several times and have to go to the doctor's to take it out?!!!! I can see doing it once...and learning your lesson once that you have to go to a doctor to take it out...but several times??!! Well...I'll tell you what kind of kid does that...MY SON that's who!!!
I haven't had to take this little guy to the doc's yet....knock on wood...but I'm thinking that's just a matter of time! Yesterday was a record breaker for Hayden...usually he will put one small bead up his nose and stop there...but yesterday he outdid himself! First in the morning he put TWO beads...one on each side of his nostrils....so I got those taken out...I have to use bobby pin to dig them out because after he puts them in his nose he tries to take them off by shoving his finger up his nose therefore pushing them up further to the point where's almost impossible to reach. When she shoves them up there you can't just squeeze them out of his nose either.... :/
Then later on the day, close to dinner time, Hayden shoved not one...not two...but THREE beads up his nose!!!!! I couldn't believe how many were up there as I laid him flat on his back and started to dig them out with a bobby pin!!! I better go get more bobby pins by the way....two beads on one side and one on the other. After I got those taken care of and after Hayden ate his dinner he went back to the toy room, where he some how finds all of this beads, and then I heard him scream... "OH NO"...so I asked him what was wrong. He then pointed to his nose and said "nose".
I knew at that point that he had shoved another bead up there and then tried to take it off himself and that's why he was screaming oh no because he knew that he had got another one stuck up there. He then proceeded to walk to the bathroom where the bobby pins are and laid himself down the floor to wait for the torture of digging them out of his nose...he hates when I take them out and he screams and cries but that doesn't stops him from doing it again and again in the same day...usually he will do this once a day or once every other day. But that was a total of 6 beads on one day!!! I then saw as he was laying down that he had 2 more beads in his hand ready to shove them up as soon as his nostril was free again...so I got those taken care of too...here's a picture of a bead stuck up there, this was the last time in the day when he had only one on his nose.



He is smiling here because of the camera but he wasn't smiling while I was taking the bead off!



Here are the beads that he shoves on his nostrils...he will usually put the small in first and then the bigger one to seal them in. :/



Here's my happy weird little guy again! He better be proud of that shirt because his Mom really does ROCK!!! :)

Hugs and digging beads

That is so funny. You should pack a cute dinosaur shirt in your bag like Michelle Pfeifer does in that movie :) My little sister used to put food she didn't want to eat in her ear. She once fit a whole serving of mixed veggies in there :)

That is hilarious!! Little boys - they never fail to provide entertainment for their mothers. I'll be sure and haul Matthew over to you and your bobby pins when he learns that cool trick!

LOL, that is so funny. I remember my little sister sticking marbles up her nose when we were younger. So hopefully he doesn't find any bigger beads, hope he just sticks to the small ones and you can keep digging them out. Maybe someday he will learn his lesson...ha ha yea right!

Rosie I like the t-shirt idea! But how on earth did your sister fit a whole serving of veggies in her ear?!
Debbie yes do bring him by...I might have to sit on him like I do with Hayden!! :) But hopefully he will not do that!
Bri I sure hope Hayden will grow out of this by the time that he can fit a marble in his nose!!!
Jen enjoy Texas...wish I was there with you! Cold over here right now! :(

My middle daughter did the same things, but hers was stuck way far up. I took her to the Saturday Clinic. She had to have big stocky men hold her down so the doc could pry it out with this wand looking thing. Needless to say she won't be doing that anymore. Her nose was sore for a couple of weeks after. It was Gr-8.
