Okay, so I will admit it: my son farts and we all (the family) laugh. It has become a knee jerk reaction. TJ makes a noise with his bottom. He immediately smiles and giggles a bit. How can I not help but to crack a smile? I recognize that this behavior will need to stop and he will need to learn that farting in public is not so funny, but sneaking a fart in private can still be done (just ask dad).
But farts are apparently just the beginning. My son has found two holes on his face where fingers fit just perfectly. Yep. I am talking about the nose. TJ has started putting his fingers up his nose. . . and leaving them there. Perhaps his little fingers stay warmer up there? I am not quite sure what the fascination is, but regardless, I need to start being a parent and educate my child that nose picking, while sometimes helpful, is never, ever funny and it is just not done.
No farts, no nose picking. I have a feeling that I will need to put the kibosh on burping next (just ask Samantha).

Oh, it takes about 16 years to unlearn these things for a boy :)
Lisa,
Farts are funny (I attribute this to a comedian who's name escapes me). But, at 33 yrs young, farts are still funny. The sooner you accept this the better off you'll be...
All the best,
Kurt
