Oh What a Mess...

...That a toddler can make in a short time.  This post is dedicated to the amazing way toddlers can make messes when you aren't paying attention.


We had a veggie side tray for dinner and Rachel was not content with just eating the veggies - not when everyone else was dipping them into ranch dressing.  I don't know how much carrot made it into her mouth, but she did get a lot of dressing.


Rachel wants to feed herself and I know it is an important skill, so I, sometimes, let her go at it with a spoon and a mostly empty yogurt container.  And what good would yogurt be without a magazine to go with it.


Apples and peanut butter.


Need I say more.  If you look closely, you can see a peanut butter moustache and very peanut buttery hands.


The girls both had a fever one day this last week.  I am not sure what could have caused it, but they both felt miserable.  So I let them watch lots of Full House and eat popsicles.  The red one for Rachel was a bad choice because it dripped all over her legs and I kept thinking her lips were bleeding because they were stained red for the rest of the day.


There managed to be a crayon and block explosion while I was otherwise occupied.  She doesn't look too guilty though.


We were working outside and ended up talking to our neighbors for a little while.  That left Rachel to her own devices, which consisted of throwing dirt in the air and giggling when it landed on her leg.  She was a mess when we got to her.

So those are some of our messes of the last couple weeks.  Now if our toddlers could only do more cleaning up.

Rachel is having great tactile experiences. Yummy flavors, and marvelous textures to taste and touch.

You go!
