This is the smile of one of the messiest creatures on earth my two year old! It seems as if he, along with his three year old brother, can turn routine events into an absolute mess. Like eating, or coloring or bathing! Even when they try to help by emptying their plates in the trash they still manage to sling food on the floor and leave a trail of something on their way to the sink. I mop our kitchen floor daily, I am sure I have spent a small fortune in products like swifter to spot mop the floors and shout to remove stains from clothing. And at what age do they learn to aim when using the bathroom. I have asked my husband to do an intensive "point then go" training with both boys to eliminate the puddles they create. And apparently it does not stop in adulthood, because when my brother graduated and returned home from college to figure out his next move my mother complained constantly about his dirty room and bathroom lol.
The one thing I can say is that even though they are messy beyond belief I love the free spirited nature of little boys. They take everything at face value and have very little apprehensions about life as they know it. Their dare devil spirit seems to both triumph and get them in a lot trouble. It also provides for lots of laughs and boo-boo's to kiss.
Here's to enjoying parenthood
