Last weekend my husband came home and kept complaining about smelling poop. I just assumed it D since we had been having the poop everywhere episode that week. But when he would pick up S he would say that he thinks its her breath. I couldn't smell anything on her breath and told him he was crazy. When we were in the car I could smell the poop smell but upon investigating he mouth I got nothing. The weekend ended and he left for work. And sure enough I started smelling it on her breath and it was very unpleasant...I mean like I said in the title, it smelled like poop!
I tried all week to get rid of the smell before my husband came home. I tried brushing her teeth multiple times a day. I tried bathing her more often. But nothing would make it go away.
Then Friday i was voxing (Voxing is the term for using Voxer which is am amazing app that is basically like a walkie talkie on your phone but free!We use is very frequently) my best friend and I noticed Sammy was kind of coughing/blowing out her nose but didn't think much of it until I looked down and she has a disgusted look on her face and her eyes were red and watering. She said, "Ugh, what's that!" and I looked in her hands and she had pulled what looked like at first glance a wad of gum from her nose. I was thoroughly grossed out. I got a tissue and took it from her and it didn't take long to realize it was definitely the source of the smell! Upon further gag inducing investigation I deduced that it was actually paper.
So somehow my daughter managed to show and wad of paper up her nose and kept it there for at least 2 weeks, long enough for it to infect her nose and begin decomposing all the while without it apparently bothering her. Yuck! It was horrific. After looking it up online it is apparently pretty common but is usually discovered after concerned parents take their child in for poop breath only to find out their stinky angel has something rotting up their nose. Thankfully S's came out on it own without a trip to the Dr. And the smell since then has gone away.
So if your child ever starts having breath that makes you want to puke get a light and check up the nostrils for any foreign object. And if that doesn't work take them in before you offend your poor little one because you can't bare the thought of kissing their poop filled mouth :)
On another non-poop note, I completely finished D's doll.
