Baby's Breath

Last night, our friend A asked, "Have you ever smelled J's breath?"

A is uncommonly passionate about his love for his family. He has 2 little ones aged 5 and 3, and continually marvels at how the 3 y.o. - his "baby" - has grown so big so fast.

A tells us babies' breath smells different.

It smells like heaven, he gushes.

Gosh, I'd never thought to smell J's breath.

A says we ought to do it soon, because once babies get older, their breath starts to stink, and to smell like...well, adults' breath.

I can just imagine it now.

Fish & chips, burgers, soft drinks, Tim Tams vs pureed fruit and veg and brown rice.

Who'll win the Battle of the Breath?

I'd better snuggle up with J for my daily dose of pure heaven while I can.
