So Maddie is now to the point where she won't let anyone feed her. I made her oatmeal for breakfast, and had no choice but to watch her feed herself! She was doing real well, and learned that it was much more efficient to pick up handfuls and put it in her mouth than to actually use a spoon. The downside to that is that she has an older sister that thought it'd be so funny to make her pat herself on the head during breakfast! Kenzie would pat her head, and Maddie would copy Kenzie (oatmeal flying everywhere!)...they repeated this process for about ten minutes laughing their heads off. I just sat there waiting for my cleaning to begin! I sometimes feel like whenever I make food, only about 1/3 of it gets to their mouths, the other 2/3 goes on the counters, floors, tables, chairs, and everywhere on their bodies except in their mouth where it should go!
After our breakfast, I had to wash her off in the sink and throw her in the bath, but all day I felt like I was always stepping on tiny bits of oatmeal all over the floor....it drove me crazy! Needless to say, we have switched to Rice Chex...a little easier to clean up!

Oh you brave woman! I don't think Joseph would have a clue about a spoon yet. Sometimes I wish I had a drain in my kitchen floor so I could just hose it all down.
Oh my, I'm sorry for you but who couldn't love those round cheeks covered with oatmeal! And it didn't take long to turn you into a good blogger Miss My Life is Boring. Who's isn't?
