Buh-reathing

Recently the kids had their first cold of the season.  Simeon got a very clogged nose and I needed to use the saline solution on him a couple of times before nursing, because he wasn’t able to breathe through his nose.

This made a very big impression on him.

It was a couple of weeks ago, and for many days afterwards, he would tell me before EVERY time he nursed, “I will buh-reathe through my nose!”

It took some time for me to figure out exactly what he was saying, but then I got it.

He doesn’t say it before every time he nurses any more, but he does reassure me at least once a day that he’s going to buh-reathe through his nose for that nursing session, despite the fact that his cold is gone and he has no trouble breathing now.
