Experiment

I shared an experiment I conducted yesterday with Kyle and he got a kick out of it. I hesitate to share this with the rest of the world, in fear of Cade being mortified that his mother would so publicly share such personal information about him. I'm going to take my chances that in the years to come he will find this as funny as Daddy did.

Cade started preschool this month. Each day he goes outside for a little recess during preschool. Those of you who know Cade also know that he is a very active boy. I noticed the last few times I've picked him up that he has been sporting the active boy smell. Ewww. This was not the first time he has sported the smell, though. He goes outside every day and runs around and comes in the house smelling. I suppose my heightened sense of awareness to this smell is because he is around lots of other kids who probably smell the same "active" way. It really made me feel bad for the teachers. I can only imagine how classrooms smell when the much older kids come in from recess.

So I decided yesterday morning to try an experiment. Just before I loaded the kids in the car to take Cade to preschool I ran to the bathroom and grabbed this:

Cade was really confused and thought I was trying to tickle him under his arm with this silly thing while I was trying to apply it.

The result: I picked up Cade, who was still sweet smelling after recess! It worked. I'm a fan. There is no age requirement for antiperspirant.
