Paige has a bad cold, but she is now able to blow her nose, and asks to do so when it's needed. This avoids lots of the "flying snot sneezes" we used to have. Although I help her to blow her nose as much as I can, she inevitably follows up with a final wipe with the back of her hand. The back of her hands are getting all dry and chapped. Yesterday I caught her trying to blow her nose with kleenex she had retrieved on her own. She then stuffed the kleenex back in the box, along with a few other squished ones that were in there.
She is also teething as every few days she gets bright red cheeks at bedtime. Last night she even said, "my cheeks are red! I need some cream!" and then started to whimper. She denies that her mouth or teeth hurt though.
We have started to implement the "cough/sneeze into your sleeve" policy with Paige. She remembers 25% of the time. Another 50% she does a few fake ones into her arm after a real one. The other 25% of the time she forgets completely.
