Licking

About a month ago, maybe slightly more, DS1 found 'licking'. We had gone to a farm shop and given him his first proper home-made ice-cream, which he loved. After that, DS1 licked everything. I really do mean everything.

So far this has ranged from counters in boots, to floors in Toys R Us, to lampposts. I can only assume it's a texture thing, but so far I think I have been amazed by everything he's chosen to explore!

Last week he started licking me. I wasn't sure what was going on at first, but the cheeky glint in his eye, meant he knew exactly what he was doing doing, and it's become a bit of a game now. He will rush over to me and lick my hand/neck/face, and then run away screaming with giggles shouting 'Your turn lick me, Mummy!'

This is usually done after I've done hair, or sorted my face out. Timing is clearly very important!

He continues to find ways to make me scream with laughter, and this time off from work may be my most treasured time ever :)
