Sometimes you have to wonder whether progress is a good thing.
Take Verity, for instance (please, take her. ha ha. er, sorry). Time was that a runny nose didn't bother her. She would just ignore the green trail of snot that made tracks to the top of her lip. It bothered me of course, and nose wiping, which met with protest, ensued.
These days it does bother her and she wipes the snot across her face with the back of her hand. It gets as far as her cheek where it acts as glue, sticking her fine hair to her face.
It's progress, but I am not sure it is in a forward direction. But then to get from A to Z you have to pass through a bunch of crap letters. Snot-smeering is just a passing phase before sniffing and nose-blowing. It is a passing phases that lasted about 20 years in my case.
The other development is that when her nose runs she points to it and says 'naughty nose'. Lovely stuff.

Verity looks like her Mum in this photo. M
