Stickers


Amanda LOVES stickers.  She puts them all over her body and they are everywhere in the house.  Today I even found one on the toilet paper holder in my bathroom.  It's almost like her tape obsession, only worse.

The problem is, since Sarah's surgery a lot of people have given her stickers as something to do while she is on bed rest, so we have an overabundance of them right now.  Which means Amanda is in little sticker hog heaven, and I am picking them off everything.

The funny part is that Andy hates stickers almost as much as Amanda loves them.  He has never liked them.  When he was little I had to teach him to say "no thank you" when someone offered him a sticker instead of screaming in horror.  You would not believe how many people at stores and other random places just put stickers on your kids without asking.  You don't even think about it until you have a kid that freaks out whenever someone comes near him with one.  He's pretty much the same way with tattoos, face paint, and stamps. 

So, it's been kind of interesting to see him react to stickers all over the house.  Overall he's been good, because I don't hear him yell too much at the girls about them.  However, I know deep down it's driving him nuts to even be in the same room with the rampant use and waste of stickers.

It's a good thing Amanda doesn't know how to put on tattoos, or he would go over the edge.
