FROM HIS MOTHER: A BEAGLE NOSE

Kristen has a crazy sense of smell. She'll know if I ate something at lunchtime that had lettuce in it - I didn't know lettuce really had a smell that was detectable. When she's pregnant, that sense of smell goes superhero, and she can smell what the neighbors had for lunch. Seriously.

It appears Tobin has inherited that beagle-nose attribute from his lovely mother. I realized this when he came downstairs from bed while we were still up watching television. He curled into my lap, still partially asleep. While laying there, he asked, "What's that I smell? What are you eating? Is it cocoa? What kind of chocolate do you have? Can I have some?"

He's a menace I tell you! I can't even have a piece of chocolate while he's asleep. he KNOWS.
