Last night I pulled a bogey out of a baby's nose
I didn't flinch.
He was snuffling, It came down slightly, I seized the moment and helped him out. I think we now have an unbreakable bond, if I can do that and not feel ill afterwards. I was good with my nephew 14 years ago, but I did get a bit bawky when he plopped, and I'd never have touched his snots.
I had to share this. I'm sorry. I'm as shocked as you probably are.

Just wait until he gets older
The bogey taps turn on full then. If you are lucky you can get one out thats about half his size, with gentle coaxing.

I know, but I'm not expecting to be too freaked out now
Whereas I used to go "ARGH! MUCUS!"

You'll make a wonderful mother.
My nephew used to get really bad constipation when he was a toddler. My sister has been known to bend him over her knee and pull the poo out : /

In third world countries, if babies get the snuffles then the mothers suck the snot out of their noses.

I'm sure the Marquis de Sade included that in his book

Wait until he can blow huge snot bubbles
and wipes it on your best black frock. Then see how adorable he is.

Does that happen to your LBDs often, Noel?

Little Black Dress.
You have a lot to learn, young man.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 10:06, Reply)

I know what an LBD is for women
But as I've met Noel, the thought of him in a dress is none too appealing, therefore I suggested something utterly ridiculous, to distract me from this image.

Don't lie.
You're positively tumescent.

I have worn nice dresses to all my visits to him
So far so good, but I was expecting vom. He doesn't seem to vom.
He is the best behaved baby I've ever looked after. I'm starting to think there's something wrong with him.

I love that you're happy, and I don't want to dent that at all.
Once, when daughter was about five months old, I got home from work and lay on the floor, grabbed daughter under the arms and started flying her around above me like a little Supergirl. She was loving it. Her mum shouted from the other room 'Careful, she's just been fed' just at the moment her smiling mouth hurled lovely white formula puke all over my face and chest, even into my mouth. Think that scene from Aliens where Bishop's coughing his lungs up.

Is this the child you mentioned in your status? What did you mean about no pics?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 9:54, Reply)

His mother isn't on Facebook and doesn't want me to put him on it
Totally respect that.
We haven't discussed it SINCE he's actually been born so she may change her mind but I'm not badgering her about it.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 10:03, Reply)

not really
She just doesn't like the whole 'broadcasting your life' thing so she is not on facebook, doesn't approve of having her photo on there, etc etc. On last discussing it she felt the same about her baby.
