AP's Sense of Taste

Until pretty recently, AP has explored things using his mouth. As a baby, the boy was a pacifier junkie, he called them his "dohs." Anything that was near and able to fit in his mouth was in there. As other kids his age were done mouthing, Aiden did not let up at all. He would chew up his favorite animals and we just couldn't understand why? Now we know that mouthing was his way of checking things out.

Unbelievably, it was very easy for us to have him give up the doh. We put Lee & Perrins sauce and pepper on it and once was all it took. When we were moving houses, my husband and I found a bag of them that we'd hidden. Aiden disappeared for a while and I found him behind the couch with the bag savoring each and every one! Like a pacifier junkie on a binge!

Now he is 5 and things have gotten better, yet I still catch him trying to lick things and he's always stealing Liz's doh.
