What can I say? I have strange children! My youngest has this obsession with sniffing... everything!! He sniffs soap, spices, pancakes, socks, dogs, etc... you name it.. he wants to smell it! What's funny is Joe's little sister was a big 'sniffer' when I met her... (she was 3 at the time)... Must be inherited... if only I could use that excuse (they don't share any genetics)... None of my other children have had this oddity... other weird past times yes (like garbage collecting as their 'treasures'...) but never sniffing anything and everything...
Anyway.... someone told us and we felt the prophesy of 2009 being the year of new things, new beginnings.. seems we're already starting down that road... We bred our doxie the other day... then we tried to NOT breed the cat (which is a story in and of itself)... but were unsuccessful in keeping male cats out of our yard (even at the risk of death to them considering the doxies)... we got ourselves a nice street cat winner of a male... one eyed and bald patches... lovely! The kids of course are stoked! Now if only the stupid cat would stop 'calling' at night and thinking our rugs are her love blankets! We were actually quite embaressed the other day when we had a friends kids over while our dogs were breeding and our cat was acting... well... in heat! I'm sure they got lessons in reproduction that their parents were wishing would have waited a year or two! Just kidding (sort of)... we told them the dogs were just "resting" together... you know.. dogs always rest back to back...... Ok... i'll stop before I offend somebody!
Just another day in the life of the GermainS!
My daughter went through a sniffing phase, too! Now, she is obsessed with feathers and she rubs them on her lip when she is upset or tired. Maybe that's next for you little guy. :)
