Baby's favorite

when my nephews were babies, 8-9 years ago, I used to think how cute it was for them to have a favorite body part to grab hold of when falling asleep. For my oldest nephew, he used to grab my sister's hair and just rub it until he fell asleep. My younger nephew used to rub my sister's fingernails. Occasionally when I put them to sleep, they would do the same to me and it just made me smile. I thought it was adorable how they had these little consistent habits to help them fall asleep.

Now Eleanor has developed a habit and although cute, it's no fun for me. Of course my daughter picks the weirdest thing to get attached to. When I lay down next to her to help her fall asleep, she'll stick her fingers into my armpit. yup, my sweaty, fatty pits. Each and everytime, she'll navigate her hands around until she "finds" it with her eyes closed. It's cute for a second until she pinches me but I guess it's her thing and I'll miss it some day.
