it started innocently enough during a sweet potato lunch. all of a sudden roz decided that having a mouthful of gerber slop was an appropriate time to sneeze. it was everywhere. including her leg. as i made snorting sounds and shouted, "mmmm... mama's gonna eat baby leg for lunch!" rozzy laughed like i've never heard her laugh before. apparently having her leg licked while making snorting sounds was the funniest thing she has ever experienced in her entire lifetime. so that was it: i snorted and licked her leg in the car, in the stroller, in her bed, on the couch, and during bath time. every single time she laughed and then i laughed at her throaty giggles. however the only thing weirder than seeing a grown person snort and lick the leg of another human being shouting, "mmm...mmm... love me some leg-bone" is seeing a grown person snort and lick someone who is not amused by it. that's what happened in check-out lane #12 at walmart. it was in that very moment when i thought i was gonna give the customers waiting behind us a real spectacular baby-giggling show that rozzy decided being licked just wasn't funny. and, judging by her why-in-the-hell-is-my-mommy-licking-my-leg face, she now hated it. i felt a little odd and my deodorant had to step it up a notch. it's amazing the things we do to make our kids happy. equally amazing is how fast they learn to make you feel like a complete moron. i'm sure that will be just the first of many looks she will give me; but i also know that will not be the last time i act like a fool in public in front of her. i cannot wait for the teenage years.
