Teeth and noses


This is pic that is totally irrelevant but loren's favourite of nate before we cut his hair short (and now shorter still), not sure what it is about his present hairstyle but it makes look older and so we expect him to behave like an older boy.

Anyway, about teeth... ike and his teeth, he is really particular about things that are stuck in his teeth or between his teeth that I think along with his diaper kit I need a tooth kit, with floss, toothpicks and a brush, anything that gets stuck there needs to be taken out and taken out NOW.

As for noses, there was one incident with nate in Durban, just as we are about to get on the highway leaving durbs he starts shouting and crying that there is a carrot stuck up his nose. Why do kids like to stick things up their noses??? sigh, so we stop the car I go to his seat and try to get him to blow it out, that failed so I then had to do the olivia trick, ie suck his nose, urgh, not recommended, still failed... but then could see which nostril it was in, I then blocked the opposite nostril and had him blow hard, luckily it dislodged and popped out, otherwise the medical center was 100 m down the road fm where we stopped.

Someday, someday I will look back and think the carrot nose incident isn't as bad as other things that he will do, today a neighbour said at 15 he built a home made bomb and blasted a 2 foot hole in his parents back yard, hmm that could be handy know how for planting trees?
