Lately, Chris and I have noticed a growth pattern. It's not height or weight. It's more of a sensory gain. I don't know if I've ever mentioned that I have a particularly sensitive nose. There are certain odors that really bother me. For example- My nose is one reason we have no pets. I also can not stand the smell of my kids after they come inside. That outside smell mixed with sweat and hair and stuff makes me wince.
Well, I think Noah has inherited my sense of smell. Lately, we have had a lot of loud conversations, mostly one sided.
Noah: "Ceily's room smells like holy crap!"
Noah: "I can't ride on the bus. The seats smell like crap!"
Noah: "I can't sleep in the same room with Eddie, he smells like crap!"
Noah: "EEEWWWW! Your mouth smells like crap!"
Noah: "Mom! Lana's bum smells like crap!"
Me: "Well, don't put your nose near Lana's bum then."
Noah: "This car smells like crap!"

i call that sweaty-kids-coming-in-from-outside "wet dog smell."
Dagny is in a similiar rut, only to her everything smells like "dog poopy." i am now looking for synonyms too, but not sure i want to hear "crap" or "canine fecal matter" repeatedly either, let me know if he comes up with any better words!
I cringe when my kids say "crap" because it makes me feel so shameful because I know where they learned it from. (me)
