It's pretty clear that babies have a very refined sense of smell. But this seems to linger on into childhood. I don't know when it fades, but I know I cannot smell like my kids can.
They can identify which household an article of clothing belongs to by smell. Clara tells me that my side of the bed and Bridges' side of the bed smell differently. They react incredibly strongly to negative smells, to the point of gagging at an unpleasant smell like vomit or rotten food.
Today Clara had picked five different kinds of sunflowers and she told me that each one smelled different from the others. Darned if I could tell.
