eau de muffin

owen's latest explorations have been of the olfactory sort-- today while getting his tennis shoes on he said to me, "mommy i smell like dog food." we tested that out and fortunately, no, he did not smell like dog food and mommy tried to explain that dog food was a yucky smell and ummm soap was a nice smell.
so when we got shoes on he stopped on the steps and said "mommy, you smell like a muffin." which was a lovely compliment indeed since the very first thing he said when he woke up at 7 this morning was "mooommmmmmyyyy i need a carrot muffin!" and after an afternoon bath he was pleased to conclude that in fact he smelled like strawberries and not dog food. apparently he is an epicure in the making.
