I have to say fighting with Henry to get her to blow her nose is frustrating and getting very tiring. She sees me use the bulb serange (better known at our house as the nose sucker outter) on Phip thus she feels she should not have to putt effort into blowing her nose when I ask. So after the 4 hundredth time this AM trying to get H to blow her nose (which she has been doing for a while now so I know she CAN do it) I decided to show her how unpleasant the alternative is.
As I was doing my best to keep my cool - as losing my cool would have been H's jumping off point to start pushing my buttons - I asked if she would like to blow her nose (held out a kleenex, ok a wad of tp as kleenex are few and far between in this household) or if she would like me to suck it out like a baby (holding up a sterile nose sucker outter). She opted for the nose sucker outter with a grin. So away I went with the nose sucker outter. I can honestly say after the 2nd application of the nose sucker outter on H she opted to blow her nose.
Ah the smell of victory :)
