Lovin' Their Little Stinks

Okay, so this may seem weird to some people, and other people (aka, Gwen) understand where I'm coming from when I say I love what I call my little dudes' little stinks. You know, all those little smells that make up your baby. I think that this might be one of those things that only a mother loves...or at least only mothers like me...because Aaron (and I think Gwen's hubby Matt too) think it's crazy, and maybe even gross! But I think it's completely normal and I love all the scents that make up my boys.

Like cute little feet and stinky little toes...


...they don't really "stink", at least not to me, and I love kissing their precious little toes.

I also love when my boys wake up from their naps and have that yummy nap smell about them...it's a mixture of a little sweat and a cottony fabric softener kind of smell...and I love it! I've told Aaron numerous times that I love it when they smell like a nap...and he just rolls his eyes and thinks I'm crazy...am I??? I think not! ;)

There are so many little stinks that I love...the damp smell from having a blast outdoors, the sweet but sweaty nape of the neck smell after playing hard, you know, good little boy smells!...oh, and disclaimer, I said that I love the little stinks...the big ones (you know what I'm talkin' about) not so much. Didn't want you to think that I've completely lost it or anything.

Anyways, I just wanted to post about this to remember my boys' sweet little stinks to look back on when are older and they have big boy stinks that I am sure I will not love so much! ;)

Have a happy Wednesday!

You're weird.

Gracie.....that is so precious and I totally agree! When Cole has had socks on for awhile his feet will stink...but I love 'em! Maybe it's something only a mother can appreciate?

On the other hand, I was just thinking this morning...I might love the way he smells but I'm sure he doesn't appreciate my morning breath when I shower him with kisses! Ha!

Love you,
Gail

...and their stinky "sweet" smelling breath. Miles and Levi certainly have different smells-but I love them:)

This post was so for me-haha!

Love you sis!

Gloria...gee, thanks! ;)

Gail, haha, I've often thought that too and usually try to brush my teeth before totally grossing them out, heehee!

Tanna, I am sure little girl stinks are nice too! ;)

Gwenny, oh, yes, I forgot to mention the stinky sweet breath...although, sometimes it is just pure sweet...especially when I smell Eli's breath after he nurses...such a pure, wholesome smell! (Did I ever tell you about J's breath after he nursed when I had eaten a ton of asparagus...now that was nasty, haha!)

Thanks for all your comments, y'all!
