If the Snot Fits...


Call it 'allergies,' or 'hayfever'- whatever it is... we've got it!  

Poor Nicky, he was outside for an hour or so on Monday, and he has been suffering with congestion ever since!  Each and every year I wonder, 'why do we live here?'  You look on the map, and we are about the highest pollen rate that you can get.  Ugh!  It is so frustrating because the sun starts shining and we want to be outside, but the Snot Monster will be visiting soon afterward.

Yes, I have taken to the infant saline solution and bulb syringe to ease poor little Nicky's cappuccino machine-like breathing.  And let me tell you, toddler snot is a bit different than infant snot!  Ick. I'm telling you, whoever created the above critter, definitely had a toddler with snot issues!

Poor guy! We don't have anything blooming anywhere to even get pollen yet. Once it starts though, I'll be just as miserable as he is.

Luckily we don't get it too badly except for sinus headaches. So not fun. :(

Poor kid! Chad and Savannah Suffer from this as well. Finally had to put Savannah on some Med's.

Poor little guy! I remember Brekkon getting so bad with asthma this time of year there. I guess that is one good thing about Utah, he no longer has those horrible attacks like he used to. Hope your little one gets better soon!

You may think it's boogers...
But it's snot.

I hope he's feeling better, poor little guy.

Allergies are the pits. When everything starts blooming, it's tough.

I've had allergies SO bad... Fortunately they have gotten better, but they are not fun at all!

Oh, I hate it when the kids are sick, especially toddlers, cause then you can't go anywhere! No one else wants to wipe that nose!
