I’ve dealt with some disgusting things in my life and I’ve coped pretty well. With the arrival of Zara I’ve coped admirably with the vast quantities of sick, poo of various guises and other bodily fluids but I appear to have finally come across something which turns my stomach. It is SNOT!

My beautiful baby girl has turned from this gorgeous creature:

Into a snot monster. I don’t know why it is, but everytime we go away somewhere new, she comes home producing vast quantities of snot. I honestly don’t know how something so small can create such vast quantities of it, it seems to dribble constantly from her nose from the minute she wakes up until the minute she falls asleep.

What I really really don’t understand though is how I just cannot handle snot. It’s far less smelly or messy than poo or sick but for some reason everytime I wipe her nose, it has me heaving. Maybe I have finally discovered the one thing about babies than I cannot cope with? Maybe I’m just still suffering from the horrible stomach bug I’ve had recently or maybe I’m just a complete and utter wuss. But one things for sure, the nose needs wiping and whether I’m heaving or not it still has to be done so I suppose I’d better just stop whining and get wiping! :)
