Tonight we had pasta for dinner, with tomato sauce. When Gracie is done eating, sometimes she sort of messes with her food until we can get her down from the highchair. Usually she just separates it into piles or moves it into another section of her plate. I guess tonight her nose was itching, and she rubbed her hand (which had tomato sauce on it) across her face to scratch the itch.
I guess the sauce got in her nose and stung a little, so she started to blow air out of her nose- hard. Before we could get to her and wipe the sauce away from her nose, she exhaled and...
a six inch piece of fettucine just flew out of her tiny nose!I knew milk and liquids could be ejected from the nose- she's even managed to get soap in her nose during baths and blow a ton of bubbles (which fascinated her to no end...)- but not large noodles. Wow!
It must have hurt- the noodle was wide and tomato sauce is acidic and spicy. But she laughed and laughed. Wow.
I guess her sinuses are going to be clear for a while.

I did a little more re-org in the studio today, but I think I finally got to where I need to be. I got most of the crap off my workspace, which is really important to me. I get easily distracted, and since I tend to really spread out when I work, I need all the space I can get. So I finally started to stash things away. I always resisted that because "out of sight, out of mind..." but sometimes you just have to store things away.
After I cleaned and organized, I made a bunch of necklaces and bracelets. I'm getting into the jewelry making groove, which is good, especially with the holidays coming up and the thousands of beads I have made in the last year waiting around in clear storage boxes.
