The Curious Case of the Missing Cheerio

This morning Sarah ran to me all concerned. "Mommy, get the Cheerio out of my nose!!" she cried.

I looked up her nose and couldn't see anything. She tried blowing, but the wee thing just doesn't have any oomph in her blow yet.

She kept hitting her nose and banging her face on the side of the chair, so I suspected perhaps something really was up there. And she had just been eating Cheerios, so it was entirely possible a wandering Cheerio found a new home.

I called the pediatrician and we had an appt for an hour late. When Sarah put two and two together that we were going to the doctor because of the Cheerio, she said, "No, no, you can't get my Cheerio out of my nose!!"

We went anyway. She was really good with the doctor. Let him look up her nose with the light thingy for a good long time.

Alas, no "foreign bodies" could be found. Maybe she coughed it out.

Indeed a very curious case.

I think she'll be fine.
