Now we can laugh

Now, we can laugh at Jilliann's curiosity....now that we're home from Prime Care. We were outside enjoying the gorgeous MI almost-summer weather with our neighbor, Anna. Anna taught Jilliann how to open up a helicopter (Maple tree seed) and find that shiny, slick green seed inside. This was very exciting to Jilliann and for some reason she wanted to put it up her nose. She starts doing this and I calmly tell her to not stick it up her nose, don't do that. I walk towards her to pull her hand away since she's completely disregarding what I'm telling her. I get there and it's too late; the seed is up the nose. It's stuck up the nose. I have her blow out with me and that doesn't work. She lets me try to get it with tweezers and it just gets pushed up there more. We call the pediatrician and they say take her in immediatley as it could decay and cause infection. So, she goes with Jason, I worry as I'm nursing Miles that they'll have to put her under. Luckily, they could pull it out with miniature forceps. She did scream and cry and put up a fight according to Jason, but they got up there and Jason even kept the seed! She got a green sucker and that's all she talked about the rest of the day. Now, I really watch her and reminder her of the rule to not stick things up your nose....or your brother's nose!
