Hey Stickybeak, watcha looking at?



A little while ago we noticed that Stickybeak has an eye for the ladies. At first we laughed it off, we obviously were just imagining it and besides he is too young, he isn't even one yet! But ... well, it kept happening.

At a cafe if a pretty waitress walks past he swings his head around to watch. If he manages to catch her eye (and he usually does) then he gives her a special smile. That's how he hooks them in. Next thing you know she is coming over to the table and telling him how gorgeous he is, what beautiful eyes he has, and those dimples! He laps it up - every single time.

Now the thing about Sydney is that most of the waitresses are young and pretty but even among such a group he still seems to have an eye for the exceptionally attractive - no wonder his daddy likes to take him to cafes! And it extends beyond the coffee crowd; we've noticed that a cute little girl in the playground will also stop him in his tracks (see photo above). Maybe it's because little girls wear such bright, pretty clothes ... or maybe he just likes the laydeez (said in my best fake sleazy voice).

At daycare I'm told one of little girls there has adopted Stickybeak, she frequently is by his side and looks out for him in the playground. When I went to collect him the other day she was trying to fix his jumper - his arm was lost in the sleeve - and when I picked him up to take him home she gave me a look that was a combination of crushed and accusing. Poor thing, I don't think this was her doing, I reckon he hooked her in too!

I think it's time to face facts: my baby is a playa. Of course Noisy Daddy couldn't be more proud.

Have you noticed this sort of behaviour with your little one?
