In the midst of July 4th activities, Abby decided to shove this little blue bead up her nose. The bead was so far up her nose that if you hadn't known she put up there, you really couldn't tell. We extracted it with tweezers. You'll notice her tear stained cheeks. No foreign objects have gone up her nose since.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.

glad you could retrieve it! another friend of mine couldn't get to a pointed sea shell her son shoved up his nose and he had to go to the hospital… almost had to do surgery. i'm crossing my fingers that max is past this stage, because i've been lucky so far!
What Britt isn't telling you is that Abby pushed the bead up her nose in the midst of a bike ride with Dad. Pulled behind Dad in the Chariot, somewhere on the east bench as he was puffing his way up a hill, Abby started saying "Nose, nose..." Finally, Dad pulled over to see what her nose needed, and when he looked, he thought he saw a fruit snack up in the dark parts of her nasal cavity.
Needless to say, a call was put in to Mom's semi-rapid emergency response service, and Abby was extricated from the spot on the aforementioned hill. And the "fruit snack" was not a fruit snack.
Some lessons are hard to learn :)
Way to go Mom emergency service (I hope she also attended to you too Dan)!
Funny stuff. Love that picture.
Been there a few times! We've been to the doctor's office at least once for it too. Ugh. Once a little toddler of mine came to me at bedtime stating she had a "bee" up her nose. I thought she was just trying to put off sleep. Nope.
Poor Abby! Glad you were able to get it out. I spent an hour at an urgent care with my three-year-old recently because we couldn't get a small rock out of his ear with our tweezers. Of course, he waited until bedtime to tell us it was there.
Marcia - A BEE? Was it some kind of toy bee?
Kids and bedtime. I can still remember being a kid and fooling around with my siblings when we were supposed to be in bed.
We use to shimmy up the door frames and then drop to the floor. Our parents caught us every time! Did I mention their bedroom was a floor below ours? Smart kiddies.
her red, white, and blue outfit is amazing! and she's got her mommy's pretty, pretty eyes.
I should have been more clear, she just didn't pronounce "bead" well and it came out "bee" instead. :)
