Mama's helper

I have a real problem with stuffy noses. I think it drives me insane when I have one, so I'm pretty dedicated to getting stuff out of my kids' noses. Gross, I know. Well, the last two mornings Eli has been introduced to the aspirator. Clayton hasn't seen this thing in a while, so he's been watching very closely.

Well, yesterday I was in the bathroom drying my hair, and Eli was in the bouncy seat behind me. I saw Clayton walk into the bathroom, but I wasn't really paying attention. Then I heard Eli scream. I turned around, and Clayton had the aspirator up Eli's nose, and he was pumping the bulb quite vigorously. Ouch! Poor Eli. I think I scared Clayton to death too as I leaped across the bathroom to rescue Eli. I guess incidents like this are just part of being a younger sibling. Oh, and I put the aspirator up high, so hopefully it won't happen again.
