no shirt, no shoes, great service

meals have become more labor intensive these days. mr. messy wears his bib for a few minutes but then proudly rips it off with a smile, throwing it on the floor and saying "uh oh" - such a stinker!

i can already tell that summer is going to work out in our favor b/c we can just strip him for dinner if its going to be messy... then straight to the tub! (i know, i never thought i'd be one of those parents but if it saves clean up time and preserves some of his clothes from being stained, i'm already over any stigma)


on one of our 70 degree days this week i tested this method b/c he had a cute new shirt on that i didn't want ruined. his belly provides a built-in shelf! he only bothers to pick two foods off his shelf and/or lap for anyone wondering: strawberries and cookies, never leaves a crumb of either! both food groups also come in handy during high-chair-meltdowns and work every single time.

if i hadn't seen for myself recently i would be surprised if any of his food makes it into his mouth!he is a boy of extremes--big eater/big mess! at least he is not picky!
