How about not just sensitive to smell? Sensitive to EVERYTHING! I believe Kath and I have spoken of this before- it's the "Princess and the Pea" thing- our family has learned to roll our eyeballs and just let Emily be Emily - but she certainly has a different sensory threshold than everyone else in our family!

Kath, I stir it if I make it....that way the sugar bowl stays in the kitchen where I can prevent little fists getting into it....:0)

My dh and I are the opposite - HE'S the one very sensitive to smell (unless it's cig smoke, then I'm gagging). He keeps me on my toes because I have to make sure there are NO smells in the house - had to get rid of a dog when nobody else thought he smelled!
"sensitive to EVERYTHING" - OT's can work on "sensory integration" (the way the brain processes different sensations) and help kids desensitize and tolerate those things better.
my dd gags when we try to get her to play in shaving cream to use her arm. I'm not sure if it's the feel of it or the smell (she's 14mo. and can't tell me!)
