Join the club! I was horrified when Ethan first had a major nosebleed (they call it blood nose here)! There was blood all over his face, his pillow and half the bed. So we called the emergency and they told us to bring him in. When we finally got there, the bleeding has stopped and when it was our turn, the person (nurse?) servicing us just asked us nonchalantly if we did pinch his nose bridge......huh? Err, no...we didn't dare do anything. And so we were sent home with that advice but I guess they also didn't know that 3-year-olds usually don't allow their noses to be pinched......well, we have learnt much since....and no more trips to the emergency, LOL! The meal you need to prepare, is it a snack or lunch? If snack, just make fairy bread...very popular here but I'm not sure if you will be told off for making unhealthy food. In that case, just make fairy bread and carrot sticks :) Hey! Join the club! I was horrified when Ethan first had a major nosebleed (they call it blood nose here)!

I totally suck. It's a small miracle that Sage and Basil are still alive. Good post... glad I'm not the only "ImPerfect" mom! I’m the SAME way in emergencies… I totally suck.

Doesnt hv to be fancy.
