Master Snot-Sucker

Evan has caught yet another cold and, I hate to admit this, but I get a perverse satisfaction from using the bulb syringe to suck the snot out of his nose. I've got a great one made by Little Noses with a clear flexible grip so I can actually see how much snot I'm extracting.

Amazingly enough, Evan is only mildly resistant to this procedure even though it requires me to sit on top of him and restrain his arms and legs while holding his head still. He's willing to sit through the torture of snot suckage, watery eyes, and coughing just so he can see the green sludge that I've squired onto the tissue and comment, "bubbles."
