On Sunday, we took a trip to the emergency room. Sadie put a Polly Pocket shoe up her nose and we couldn't get it out no matter how hard we had her blow and it was too far back to grab it with a tweezers. Well, wouldn't you know when we got there the dr. couldn't see the shoe and said she either sneezed it out (she had a little sneezing fit) or that it was back too far in her nose, which meant that it would just go down the back of her throat and she'd swallow it. So, we went home, with a lost shoe not knowing where it disappeared to.
Skip to 8 hours later, we're driving home from a barbecue at a friend's house and I was looking back at Sadie and she turned her head to just the perfect angle and sure enough, I caught sight of that elusive Polly Pocket Shoe. Sadie swore that she couldn't feel it and when Dennis looked, he said he couldn't see it either. Well, I must have x-ray vision, because I saw that shoe hidden in her nose, only it had moved forward quite a bit. We held her down and in one swift move, I reached the tweezers in and pulled the Polly Pocket Shoe out!
We had a long discussion about where not to put little tiny plastic shoes.

Oh My! Remember when D.F. did that with a bead? Some lessons you have to learn :) Rachel will be my kid to do this :)
Yes, yes, that was my kid that did it with the bead. We had 2 ER visits to remove it. Because we could see it and they said it could go into her lungs.....They had to stick a cathetar up her nose and inflate a balloon behind it to push it out. Horrible experience. I hope Sadie learned her lesson. Daniela sure has.

What a great memory for this trip! Matthew will definitely do this!
Oh my word. I love that you just happen to catch sight of it! From the headline I was thinking kid shoe in the toilet. The Sadster got me!
My brother snuffed one of my blue toy beads when he was the same age... he put it just in his nose where he could see it and was admiring himself in the mirror...and apparently he had a runny nose or something b/c then he sniffed and up it went! Same scenario followed!! We called him Chief Blue Bead for years. :)
Hysterical! Well for me anyway.. Lesson learned Sadie!
