Don't Grow Up!

Tonight Jake was snuggling with Sawyer in the chair/ recliner when he
told Sawyer "You smell." Not having recently farted, Sawyer thought
Jake was kidding. Jake was serious. Sawyer smelled like body odor.

Confused by that, I had Sawyer come to me so I could smell his jumper
jammies. Sure enough- BO smell. What?!?! I mean, sure, he wore those
jammies last night but BO? Really?

You should have seen us... our noses all up in Sawyer's pits. It was
comical! But he DID smell that body odor smell.

He's SIX people!! I refuse to "let" this happen this soon. Even
articles say it could start as early as 8-10 (pre-puberty) but my baby
is SIX! No! I will not have this.

All right, if I *must* endure this now I know what I will do. Instead
of going the deodorant route straight away I will have him start
taking zinc. After all, it has been said "If you stink you need zinc".
When we do go the deodorant route I will work to NOT use ones with
aluminum or metals. Crossing fingers the more natural ones work
although with a Y chromosome I don't know...
