I have a little guy (16 months old) who, since he started in Nov. has a constant stream of...well....snot! I am spending my days chasing him down to wipe his nose (I've resorted to simply using toilet paper...way cheaper than Kleenex). I am tempted to use what we used to call the 'snot sucker'...the plastic teardrop shaped thing you use on babies?!

Is his runny nose clear or green. Could be a sign of infection of green for a long time.

Nope, not green at all.

Ugghhhh.... Boogers. The bane of my existence.
I have noticed that some children are just, for lack of a better word, SNOTTIER than others. LoL
I would definitely ask mom/dad to bring in tissue. I also just keep a couple rolls of TP around. A whole Kleenex is too much for a little person, I think. And there is no way I am "saving" a half-used one. Ew.

I have one too! I am a major allergy sufferer so I need to use the good kleenex. But I am also really cheap so when the kids have runny noses I just cut a couple kleenex's in half so I'm not wasting so much and going through so much kleenex's on such little noses.
