[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 77667, member: 1991"] Yep. Part of the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). Unless the child is being wildly inappropriate, we don't block it. I remember walking home from school soon after the power poles (timber) had all been painted with creosote to protect them from termite attack. I LOVED that smell! I must have looked like some sort of dog, stopping to smell every telegraph pole on the way home! easy child 2/difficult child 2 is big on smells - she grows roses but has very strict requirements - the roses have to be red (or strongly coloured ) and HAVE to have a strong perfume. She likes jasmine, but not star jasmine. She isn't too fond of wisteria. Any cosmetic product with too strong a smell, she will refuse to sue. it also has to have exactly the right texture. One of my kids likes the smell of petrol (gasoline). Not to the point of putting it in a bag and sniffing it, but I call for volunteers to man the pumps and there's often a scramble. Some solvents - they like. Some they hate. It's just kids. And remember, being younger their sense of smell is far more acute than ours. And mine is still pretty darn good. Marg [/QUOTE]
