atticus & the stickybeak

Noah had to visit the doctor yesterday - what I thought was a cold is actually ear infections - poor little baby. Today I am extremely grateful for antibiotics and the speedy way they fix things!
But on our way out the receptionist had left the gate to the reception area open and Atticus wanted to explore, I was juggling Noah, trying to sign the paperwork and keep Atticus out, when the receptionist said to Atticus,"it's ok, you just want a stickybeak don't you?". Little did she know the dramas that one sentence would cause.
Atticus had never heard the word 'stickybeak' before, and the only times he'd come across being 'sticky' is after eating some tasty treat that's left his face and fingers sticky, so naturally he thought the receptionist was referring to a delicious delight! It was such an effort to get him to the car, with him screaming 'STICKYBEAK' at the top of his voice, the only way to get his seatbelt on was to promise him something yummy from the bakery on our way home. And yes it was sticky!
