Smells like...

Ketchup. That's what a toddler smells like. You know how when they're babies, they always have that "baby" smell, sweet and soft, no matter if they're just bathed, or it's been a day between baths? Toddlers, at least my toddler anyway, smell like ketchup. All the time. Some days it seems like everything she eats must be dipped. She prefers ketchup, but will tolerate tomato sauce such as can be found on spaghetti, Spaghetti O's, or even for dipping things like mozzarella sticks. Yesterday she dipped her grilled cheese sandwich in ketchup...ewww...I think she ultimately ingested more ketchup than either cheese or bread. She was covered in it. She bathed, and even then still smelled like ketchup during the before-bed rocking ritual. Eeeeyuch!!! She still smelled like ketchup this morning. Then she proceeded to eat more things dipped in ketchup. I guess this means she's getting plenty of lycopene, right?
