Nose strips.

Skylar and I have been getting sick ever since we left home. At first we thought it was allergies, then a cold, and it culminated in a sinus infection (at least for me) resulting in a trip to the ER the day before Thanksgiving.

Anyway, Skylar was snoring from all the congestion so Aunt Nicole (an avid nose strip user) tried to convince her that wearing a nose strip would be fun. Skylar is already afraid of band-aids because "they hurt" (and she's a bit of a drama queen) so a nose strip sent her spiraling into a fit of hysteria.

She was happily munching on a chocolate covered marshmallow when Nicole adhered the strip and sabotaged her happiness. You can see the trepidation in her eyes (and the chocolate dripping down her chin).....
The nose strip was spreading her little nose and pushing up the skin under her eyes......she was not a fan.
Skylar felt betrayed. How could Aunt Nicole, who usually has such fun ideas, do something like this? All she wanted was eat her treat in peace. This was not a fun idea.

We eventually distracted her, but the nose strip only lasted an hour and came off right before bed. A pity, because no doubt we all would have slept better that night without the little freight train in the room.
