You know, the ones who are up at the A and E every weekend with harrassed looking parents and a saucepan on their head.

He is only 19mths but seems to like sticking himself in tight spots or, sticking things in orifices.
He loves poking things in his ears. I have just caught him shoving grains of rice up his nose.
He keeps crying and rubbing his nose and then trying to shove a pea, or more rice up there.

I am going to have to pin him down and have a look up there with a torch aren't I

Lol. Better make sure you've done a first aid course by the sounds of it!

Oh dear, and he is the secret poo in a corner and paint with it child.
I have just noticed a piece of art in the corner of the living room.

pmsl!

sympathies - DS2 got his head stuck in the back of DS1's little chair yesterday, and I've had the poo rubbed into the carpet, on the stairgate, up the stairs and all over the bathroom carpet in one go! Fantastic

PMSL - sorry! A friend once stuck a round sweet up her nose - the only way it would come out was to blow it out so she blocked her other nostril and took a big deep breath in through her nose...

Spent a few hours in a&e on that one

Heh! My SIL had an itch up her nose when she was little and put a tiddlywink of all things up to scratch the itch. A&E with tweasers for that one!

Ha ha . I also heard of someone (urban myth I think) putting firemen (the really small ones) up there to rescue the cat...

Maybe he's trying to make soup?

DS stuck a cheerio up his nose once. He managed to blow it out though. Same story with the tissue and many other things that he has stuck up his nose. He is now 3.8 and I hate to tell you, it doesn't get any better!

He'll sneeze and I'll be covered in risotto!
lol
Worst of all was the discovery of a slipper track in the poo...I had been traipsing it round the house without knowing it!

All I can smell is poo...I'm sure I've cleaned it all up though.

Oh, and I'll always remember going into DS1's room and finding an empty black powder paint tin and then the powder paint. It happened about 18 months ago and even though we've had the carpet cleaned it's still there!!! Oh, joy.

I famously stuck a tomato up my nose when i was 18 months old...apparently.

A cherry tomato? A plum tomato?

The only thing I remember doing is getting a marble stuck up my cough cough nudge nudge when I was 5...Don't ask!

My DS got his head stuck up the chimney when he was about 2.5 (we start them working early oop north ).

He poked his head up for some reason and couldn't get it out. It took ages to prise him out and he got a black eye in the process - the day before he started nursery!

DS1 stuck his head thru the bars underneath the dining chairs at about 8 mos. DH had to dismantle the thing to get him out. Try explaining bilateral bruising of the temple region to the frowning childminder!!!!

He also loves running and jumping onto his toy cars. The cars spin off across the laminate floor and DS ends up on his bum laughing hysterically.

DD was/is such a unadventurous type

PMSL spag. My brother was like that. Currants in his ear holes, batman bullets up his nose, always falling and cracking his head open.
Hold tight.
He's a very sensible, calm grown-up man now btw.

When I was young (not that I'm a biddy yet of course) I somehow managed to get a shortish pencil stuck width ways in my mouth. Dad, through streams of laughter at his pointy cheeked daughter, managed somehow to snap the said pencil so I could close my mouth again. Sore cheeks...

My sister had to have an operation to get a "oner" piece of lego out of her nose Of course we like to remind her of this at suitable moments..pmsl when she had a medical for her new job and the GP (new area so new GP) asked ehr if she had ever had any surgeries or operations - she told him "oh, yes..." and said she blushed for the rest of the medical as he had given her one of those "over the glasses stern "don?t mess me around" looks

While a lot of this is quite amusing, and pmsl and all the poo stories, some of it can be really dangerous. A friend?s little boy ate a drawing pin and mum found it in his nappy - he was ok but they spent a worried day in A and E checking for internal damage
