Word of the Day...Snot!

So I guess it comes with being a Mom during cold and flu season...snot!  This morning Avery woke up with a virus of some sort - who knows where she got it or how long it will last but boy, it is here now.  Without being too graphic, let me say that the amount of snot that my beautiful little girl is producing is downright prolific!  I am not even joking when I say that I am literally wiping her nose every 2 to 3 minutes!  The best part is that since Miss Avery is still perfecting the art of wiping her own nose, I get to hear her summon me by calling our "SNOT!" whenever she needs assistance.  Which as I may have mentioned before is like every couple of minutes.  I could do as my husband suggests and just let her wipe her own nose...but I am just too grossed by the outcome because 9 times out of 10 instead of wiping her nose with a Kleenex she will just use her arm instead.  This results in a little girl with snot on her arm and smeared all across her face starting at her nose...not a pretty picture.  For now, I am arming myself with fistfuls of tissue and praying that this bug decides to leave our house as quickly as it came.  Fingers crossed!
