Every Child Is Special - Mine Is Extra Special

I bet you think I'm going to go on and on about how precious my daughter is. How she's the most beautiful little girl...well, she is...but that's not what this post is about.

Since Calleigh was 5 months old, she has put her hands in my armpits for comfort. Yeah! I know. Weird!! She is turning 2 tomorrow and as I type, she is digging in my pit. Some days I don't mind...but sometimes it drives me nuts!!

I've had to adjust things a bit. Like waiting until just before we leave to apply deodorant. There's been a few times where she's had her hand in my pit and then put her hand in my Husbands' mouth. It's funny for me...not so much for him.

I'm not sure how to get her to stop this. It seems like she does it more when she's got her soother in. So, my only idea here, is doing away with the soother. If you're a parent who relies on a soother at times, you know how difficult it is to part with. For the child and the parents!

When we've been out shopping, walking and playing, I have never seen another child with their hands in their moms' pits. What is this? Is it me? Is this just my daughters' "thing"? Man is she going to be embarrassed when this is what I remember most about her growing up! Although, the things I am remembered for as a child are far more irritating to hear about. Mostly destruction of many, many different things.
