The Messiest Child Ever??

Does anybody want to be in our contest for the messiest child ever? I didn't think so. There's no beating Callie Grace. Her Dad has been calling her this since she first started eating solid food. Her messiness does only relate to food. She doesn't destory with toys and such the way she can with a good meal. I like to tease her that it will be very embarrassing for her to have to take a sippy cup on her first date. In the past few weeks, she has been healing from her tonsil surgery. This involved halfway eaten melting popcicles all over the house- including her bed, the bathroom, and the living room. Also she has spilled yogurt and hidden dried out jello on the carpet. Is she allowed to eat out of the kitchen? No. Does this stop her? No again. She is feeling better, so this week, she squeezed out an entire caprisun in my car, dumped a family size bag of Cheetos out on the living room rug, and decided to fill her spaghettio bowl up with water from the fridge door. Water downed tomato sauce everywhere!! This morning I gave her breakfast and went upstairs. I came back down to find this.



She had pulled a little chair over to the counter and gotten down the powdered sugar canister. Then proceeded to dump it out and eat it with a spoon. I was flabbergasted. The entire kitchen is covered in a thin glaze.




Good thing she cleans up so nice. We love our messiest child ever. She'll eventually grow out of this, right??

Oh my! Powdered sugar? That's a new one! We can relate though. Caroline dropped a few eggs on the grocery store floor yesterday. Oy.

I just had a thought. We should let Callie and Caroline get together and have a mud party in a back yard and then hose them off afterward. They'd be thrilled!

You win!!! She also had a winning streak for the messiest hair after naps...does that still happen?
And she sure does clean up nice! I love that last picture of her, she's so sweet!

Let me know if she does because right now Madison sounds very similar to her. She makes a mess with everything though! Books, toys, food, clothes, toilet paper, my shoes, you name it she messes with it. SO I hope that Callie does, because then there is hope for my little one too.:)
