Blog Award and Unusual Olfactory News
Last week, Angela from Memoirs of a Chaotic Mommy nominated my blog for the Brillante Weblog Award. Thank you Angela! I have to nominate seven other blogs but that is going to have to wait a few days as I have added several new blogs to my Google Reader.
Now on to some unusual olfactory news from the Mindless Mommy household. My youngest daughter is part canine. She is always smelling or sniffing something or someone. Once she started stringing words together spontaneously we were elated - but with that new skill came comments like “he smells like smoke” or “she’s stinky.” Don’t hold back Ava, tell us what you really think.
So the other day we were in the grocery store and her olfactory senses were on high alert. Several times throughout our trip we’d turn down new aisle and she’d stop and ask “What’s that smell?” She’d then walk down the aisle slowly, walk up to a food item and smell it, say “nope” and then go to the next item. Once she’d get to the item she smelled she’d exclaim “That’s it!” My son was with us and asked me to make her stop but I explained that she wasn’t hurting anyone and she could continue but inside I shared his sentiments. Later that day we did some good heavy work activities and she’s since gone back to a more reduced level of sensory seeking.
