I'm a Pro

I've discovered a new skill to add to my resume.  Professional Nose Wiper.  That's right, I've honed my skills over the past few days and I have the perfect technique down.

Great way to spend a week of your summer, right? ;)  Poor Luke got a summer cold and mommy too.  I'm pretty much all better but his little inexperienced immune system is taking a little longer to beat it.  He hates the Snot Sucker-Upper a.k.a. nasal aspirator.  That was cool for the first day then not so much, its a huge battle to even let me near him with I have it in my hand.  So we've loaded up on the aloe packed tissues and I've been wiping away.  I read online kids don't learn to blow their nose until about 4 years old, whaaat? Thats a whole lotta wiping in my future.

A life saver I found during this cold though, the Vicks Waterless Vaporizer.  Best. Thing. Ever. for sleeping at night.  I felt so bad because Luke would wake himself up every 45 minutes because he was so congested, even with the regular humidifier on, and would be so miserable.  Two nights with the Vicks going works miracles.  If anyone else out there has any awesome miracle cold helpers let me know! 

Even cold stricken he's still a happy little guy (with a new haircut!).
