By now, most of you know where I spent my Wednesday afternoon. For those that don't, SickKids ER. You see small, plastic cannonballs made by Playmobil are not meant to be inserted up one's nose. Sophie knew it was up there but just coudn't figure out how to get it down, and neither could I.
While their dad continued to recover on the couch from his brutal migraine, Seb was hustled off to a friend's house from where he would be walked to school and Sophie and I went to SickKids to be sheepish and wait.
After 2 hours, all was resolved in about 20 seconds with the help of a tiny pair of forceps. Small discomfort and no pain.
We went home with the cannonball in a speciman jar. It's our family's new rattle.

Remind Erin to one day tell you about the rocks her brother once convinced her to shove up her nose.
Oh, Farah's done this too! Except it was a cute little peastone from her daycare playard. Happily they were able to bring her to my office instead & my neighbour across the hall got it out first try.
Those things are called "alligator forceps", by the way, which is kind of cool!
