Issues with the Nose

WARNING: The following may cause gag reflex!

I can't lie. I have a nose picker in my family. More often then not that finger is in Gracie's nose!A while back, on the way home from church, I caught Gracie with her finger up her nose. She then told me that she picked her nose in class. I asked her what she did with it, and she held up her finger. So, then I said, "well what did you do with it once it was on your finger?" she paused, as if deciding what to say. Then she yells, "I EAT IT!!!"

A few months have passed and we are still battling that habit. Today, while reading stories, I noticed Gracie's tiny finger sneaking up to her nose. I said, "don't pick your nose." A few minutes later I saw the finger move again. She looked up at me with he finger scratching her chin and says, "This is not a nose."

Hmm... I guess I was mistaken.

My little Laiklie is also a NOSE PICKER! and it is really disgusting!! Even when she was super tiny she would put her finger in her nose and then her mouth and go.....mmmmmm....SO SICK!! She is "kinda" getting better - or maybe that is what I say and then turn my head so I don't have to see it since fighting it has only made it WORSE! Good luck. If you find something that works LET ME KNOW!
