The Joys of a Child

Lots of deep, long thunder tonight. And lightning.
The yellow color of the sky prompted us to make a "who gets Squirms and who gets the dogs and rushes to the closet" plan.

Last night Squirms gave us a scare. She'd been asleep for about two hours when she started yelling. She seemed fine according to the video monitor, but her cries insisted attention.

Her adorable nose was congested so I held her while R operated the snot bulb. She looked terrified, not being able to use her nose, so of course we were also terrified.

Then, with the bulb in one nostril, LOTS of mucus flew out of the other nostril and I cried It's in my eye! It's in my eye!

Squirms is fine and breathing well, and we have been taught to respect the strength of her nose.
