My new gadget

This post has nothing to do with knitting. I am just so excited about my newest gadget - an ear wax picker/remover!! I was shopping for my post-partum supporting clothes and happened to see this product. Its just like the Clover crochet lite, it lights up so I can see inside the ear, really clever. I usually just use a Q-tip to clean my son's ears and never thought about "picking" ear wax out of his ear. The only time that my son had his ears picked was when we visited the Dr.'s office for ear infection, now with this thing I may be able to do it myself.

Look at this next picture, see how big that piece of ear wax was?! After I pulled that ear wax out of my older son's ear, he said to me "Mommy, you talk too loud!!!" #*%^#$ No wonder I found myself scream alot whenever I wanted him to do something...

Even though on the product description says okay to use on newborn baby, I actually bought this for my older son, the baby just move too much, I'm afraid I will accidentally poke too deep and hurt him. My 4-year-old loves it very much, keep on asking me to "do it one more time", I guess the "scratching" makes him feel comfortable!

I also bought more of this nose cleaning thingy. I've had it for few years now, I just love it, I like it better than the old nasal aspirator. I found something similar to this one at Mitsuwa market, I tried it, it's just not as effective as this one. The flu season is coming, this product is a must in our household, leave one in living room, one in kids room, one in diaper bag.....you see why I need more than one!

And these are the post-partum supporting clothes I was talking about. After my first son was born, I didn't buy any of these, I was lazy and kind of just let my body did its own thing, I figured after a while I would lose all the extra weight. Well, I did lose most of the weight (kept about 10lbs as souvenir, ha), but I also lose the "figure", I couldn't find my waist anymore... So this time, I want to do something!! I couldn't find these kind of products in US, I mean, there are similar stuff that targets the tummy area, something for the thigh area; but these are specially for post-partum, and I can only find these in Asia, and pretty expensive too. So even it's very uncomfortable to put all these on my body, I just have to do it, especially after spending so much money :-p I better show my hubby where his money went, right?!
