Today during nap time, 4 y/o E was on his bed, playing quietly. He never sleeps at nap time, and he usually entertains himself quietly on his bed. Today he was playing with a shiny green bead he found on the floor, and I didn't think anything of it. I went about my business of rubbing backs to help children fall asleep, and then did my cleaning duties. Once that was done, I sat down to cut out some matching cards I had laminated the night before. E was on all fours on his bed, and he started blowing his nose hard. It looked like he was trying to get snot all over his blanket, so I told him to get a kleenex.
"But I don't have a runny nose," he said. So I asked him why he was blowing his nose like that.
Because I have a shiny little green thing inside my nose," he replied.
I promptly took him into the bathroom and had him bend over the sink. I plugged the nostril that didn't have the bead in it, and told him to blow. So he blew, and nothing came out. I told him to blow harder, and still nothing came out. I was starting to panic and think I was going to have to call his mom, but finally he managed to blow the bead out.
