Flutter Nutter's nose

Flutter Nutter has the cutest little nose, if I might say.
But he has the best working nose as well.
He can be clear down in the dungeon (aka, basement) and very quickly catch the smell of something cooking.
It doesn't take long to hear, "I smell something." and "Mommy, what is it?"
Me: "Dinner"
FN: "What kind of dinner?"
The last question is very important as he likes sweets, chicken nuggets and fish sticks, and hot dogs. So I must respond with, "Something yummy!"
FN: "Okay."
Then off to the stove to investigate.
To which he hears, "Get down before you get burned."
FN: "OK"
The fact that his nose works so well is amazing. Because his mouth and tummy don't seem to work as well. We have the hardest time getting this kid to eat more than "2 bites". The required amount he must try before being done. Dad is trying for 3 bites...but it is with gnashing of teeth, and not the gnashing that involves chewing. We have even tried to encourage him to eat so he can grow big and strong. He absolutely has no desire to get bigger. He wants to be little forever!
