My new friend....

The Graco Electric Nasal Aspirator!!

I am in LOVE with this thing! I know it is kind of weird (and gross) for me to be head over heals for a nose sucker but this thing is great! I did not even know they existed until my friend at work had a baby and she asked me about them. "Why no...I have never heard of them." Then I started asking around and apparently they are popular.

I am obsessed with keeping my boys noses clean! It drives me crazy when we see kids at the mall play area or in Wal-mart with snot running down their faces. I have this over whelming urge to reach out and wipe their noses (Yes, I know that is even MORE GROSS and awkward for me to want to wipe a stranger kids nose!)

So with this latest cold Evan has and the plastic blue bulb nose sucker is just not cutting it anymore. We went out on a mission to find one of these new electric nose suckers.

AHA! We found one! I purchased it primarly for Evan but once I got it home Kyle (who has had a running nose for so long that his nose has been peeling for two weeks because I have wiped it SO much) wanted to try it. Well I guess I should say he wanted to try it AFTER I chased him around the house with it trying to suck his nose. He finally agreed to try it if I let him do it himself. So I showed him where the button was and he stuck it to his nose and turned it on. With in seconds it had pulled all this nasty snot out out of his nose that I had been trying to get out with tissues. He laughed and laughed - partly because it was so gross to see everything come out of his nose and partly because he could finally breath. :-)

Kyle has been wanting to use it all the time now...Evan not so much, but I think we time he will too learn his mama's obsession. And I am one happy mama cause my boys have clean noses!
