Thank you all for you past suggestions on how to curtail my son's "digging for gold" with our ears and nose!
In the spirit of Son-Rise we got all excited when he would start to go for the nostrals and I would move my face
quick and therefore he would touch the tip of my nose... you would have thought we won the lottery.

"OH I LOVE it when you touch my nose so gently!!!! Do it again oh do it again" and don't you know he got it!!!
and as for the ear... well had to take a different approach cause for whatever reason the above approach didn't work.
As for the ear... we'd let him stick his finger in ONCE.. after that we'd say "that's an ear, and if you would
like to touch it again Mommy would like it if you would say ear" (of course this was all done with excitement).
well I guess he doesn't wanna say ear cause he understood and would go away from the ear!

Take care and again thank you for your ideas!
