I got snotted.

This is a phrase heard frequently around our house the past few days. Lucas has had a cold for the past week, which has meant lots of nose wiping. The little smarty has learned to use his extra fluids as a weapon by blowing his nose as hard as he can when he gets mad. It's funny because it doesn't do us any harm - it just leaves him with snot running down his chin. It's actually easier for us because we can then wipe it away and know he is clear for awhile. Examples of times we have gotten snotted are....
- we told him he couldn't have a cookie - snotted.
- I told him that he needed to give me the pen he was carrying around - snotted.
- Jeff told him to quit messing with Tyson's dog food - snotted.
Kate, our nanny, told me that she got snotted today too. She said that she and Lucas were at the park this morning and he seemed like he wanted to leave. He waved bye-bye to all of his friends and she put him in the car seat. She said then he decided that he wanted to stay and snotted her (really himself, but it was meant for her). She asked if he wanted to go see her kitties, he replied by meowing, so they went to her house. She said she went to the bathroom for only 2 min, but he wasn't happy about it. He banged on the door and called her name. When she didn't respond fast enough he snotted over and over again. She said when she came out of the bathroom he had snot all over his face and was using her curtains as a kleenex! Poor Kate - they had to take the curtains down and wash them, but she told me this story as she was laughing, so I guess it wasn't that bad.
Good times with our little boy...

Typical Boy! That is such a funny story because, just last night, Neil and I were discussing how Ty has learned to blow his nose. He does it even when there are no tissues!
