    Wipe nose and repeat...and repeat....

    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?!
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    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.
