This evening Caroline decided to pretend to be a pig. By sticking Play-Doh up her nose. I'm not sure what a nose full of Play-Doh has to do with being a pig, but Caroline seemed pretty proud that she figured it out and baffled that I was less than impressed.

I attempted to use my nasal-crayon extraction method from 2006, but sadly, pressing above the obstruction inside the nostril was ineffective, most likely because of the physical properties of a crayon vs. Play-Doh. My bad. Next, I tried to get Caroline to blow it out of her nose - which resulted in her trying to breath through her nose, which resulted in panic, which resulted in my desperately trying to remove the Play-Doh with my pinky. After about 10 seconds (that felt like an hour) I figured out that my fingers were too big to dig it out themselves, and that Caroline seemed to be doing whatever she could to inhale the Play-Doh and/or shove it into her sinuses, and I managed to extract all of the pink goo using some handy tweezers.

Good times. Tonight I got to pick someone else's nose. Ah, the joys of motherhood.
