The family blog of Kristian, Catherine and Hugo

Friday, May 12, 2006

I've often heard that people feel the need to pop out another kid once their first becomes a toddler. I can now see why. There's something about seeing a miniature version of you (or your partner) trying to eat but missing his mouth, bartering his way out of trouble in his own language, and tapping your back as he hugs you that makes you think it has to be multiplied.

But there are a few things Hugo likes to do that aren't real crowd pleasers. And even though people may not get them, I just love them.

He likes sitting in the rain (I've only let him do it a couple times during summer and it's straight in the bath afterwards).

He has a penchant for flip flops. Likes to steal them, hide them, and sometimes lick them.

He also loves my armpits. He likes to squish all of his fingers in one of them, smell them and wait.... I've even caught him trying to lick them too.

And if he reeeally likes you then you'll have to smell his feet. He'll take off his socks and raise his little feet until they're riiiight in your face. He'll be laughing the whole time. This is probably my fault as I've been smelling his feet since he was born.

So even though he's just one, he has a foot and an armpit fettish.

Yep, just your typical toddler stuff.
