I know it is gross, but I can not seem to get rid of them! I scrub hard in the bathtub, and not only does he have a fit, they are hard to get off and when he won't hold still it is impossible!! I always said I would not be the Mom with the crusty nosed kid, but now I see how it happens! Does anyone have any ideas?

Vaseline and a cotton ball let him wipe it turn it into a game

Warm wet washcloth. My kids always hated it too, but I didn't want to be the booger nosed kids mom either. The warm water helps to break up the boogers so it doesnt hurt to take off. You could maybe make really silly faces and noses while wiping the nose, that worked with my second but not my first.
Also try, and I know this sounds weird, some thick lotion or even chapstick around the nostrils. Helps to keep them moist and makes it harder for boogers to dry up and stick there.
Good luck!!!!!!!!

Use a warm washcloth on it and rub gently. This also works on eye boogers they get with colds or sleep in their eyes. And it is not gross it happens to every little kid.

Get the saline drops and bulb syringe. you may desire to purchase them fairly lots everywhere. you place the drops in each and each nostril and then use the syringe to suck the boogers out. lots much less stressful and extra powerful. Edit: a nasal aspirator and a bulb syringe are fairly lots an analogous element different than a variety of of aspirators are battery operated. Your selection, they do an analogous element.

i go to the make up section at walmart and buy facial cleansing cloths to remove my make up.. i have discovered that they also clean little noses gently and without much effort.
Do you know why the little tyke gets so many runny noses? Does he have allergies? It's a miserable thing for a child. He may need allergy meds to stop the symptoms.

Use a bulb syringe to clean out his nose as part of his bath routine. You also might discuss the problem with the doctor as he could have allergies causing the problem, or an infection.

try saline spray from walmart etc, it allows you to loosen up his boogy and get it out. Or you can try a wipe, sounds weird but I have to do that with my son all the time!
