Every Meal is a Mess
This is the pile from ONE lunch...
She is soooo proud of the work she's done!
The mess goes all the way to the living room:)Yummy Liscious...
I don't know if everyone else out there has this problem, with a baby how could you not, but everytime Addison eats a meal it looks like a tornado came through my kitchen. I don't get it! How does she get full, when everything ends up on either the floor or her cute, little, chubby face. And if it wasn't bad enough that she drops half of what she eats, the other half she throws as far as she can!
Now if any of you out there can help me with this little problem, I would love to know your suggestions. I know that kids will make messes, but man I dread mealtime. I actually want to just not feed her (I would never do that just for the record). But, I do not look forward to cleaning up the hellacious mess that follows providing my child with adequate nutrition, but we can't eat every meal at the park or a restaurant, so I must clean 3 times a day, everyday! But I guess she's worth it:)
Sorry sis, that is a kid thing and there is no way to stop it. Just be thankful that she is not throwing it at you yet, but just wait that will come too. I did learn in my psychology class though, that it is a learning thing and has nothing to do with her wanting to drive you crazy no matter how much it may seem that way. You have to remember that she is just learning her hand eye cordination and depth perception is just becomming apparent. It is more about her fasincation about the fact that she can control what her hands are doing and not how big of a mess she is making. But it is hard to remember all that psychology stuff when you have to clean the same mess 3 or 4 times a day.
ReplyDeleteAnd one day you will turn around to find her wearing a bowl on her head that used to contain cereal. This should happen around age 2. Make sure you take a picture. Love Ya/MOM
