How many times in a child's first year shall I be expectant of seeing/feeling/wiping/suctioning snot from one tiny, little nose? This poor child doesn't know what it means to breathe through the nose holes God gave him. A perpetual mouth-breather, strangers (even I) are beginning to think he mimics the panting of the "Aaaaa Dog-Dogs" he loves so much.
Last night I hit the snot motherload... (if you're squeamish, turn away) I was like mucus El Dorado- I had discovered the Lost City of Boogers. Little green Leprechauns led me (and the snot sucker thingy) to the pot of snot gold (there wasn't a rainbow...it was dark). I was in Vegas playing the Snot Machine and landed on 4 Double-Triple Globular Goo-Balls. Enough?
It just kept coming...How can something so (relatively) small (he's packed it on pretty good lately...you've got to see his chubby little dupa) create SO much snot? Where is he keeping it?
Anyway, I was curious...how often is this supposed to happen? What is a normal snot productivity level for a 1-year-old. Is there a flow chart I can download? An Excel doc I can peruse? I'm running out of tissue AND clean pants.
