Snorky

In the past, I have totally dreaded the sound of a sniffle, mainly because it means I will have to choose between hearing my child choke on his own snot and using the bulb syringe.
5 would always cry with that mixture of anger and betrayal that makes me feel like such a horrible mother even though I knew I was helping...
With the onset of this cold, however, when I pulled out the bulb syringe, I did have to trick him into letting me do it the first time, but after that he offered up his nostrils willingly! He even brings it over to me in the morning. I'm a little confused as to how two obstinate, non-lesson-learning people such as Fred and myself could possibly have produced a child with the capacity to understand that the discomfort of the bulb syringe is cancelled out by the regained ability to breathe.

I could be over-thinking it though, maybe he just decided it was fun. He certainly delights in attempting to use it on me.

Wylie was VERY EXCITED to see Five on the computer just now. "Five! That's Five! I love Five!"
In related commentary, I wonder if the bulb syringe would be beneficial to the grown-up cold? May be Five's got a good idea...
