I'm at the point that I still don't like cleaning up any more messes than I have to. But when it comes to dinner I'm really past eating cold food for the sake of feeding Evan so that I don't have to clean his mess. So I just decided to hand over the food. Arabella went through this phase at a much younger age but Evan, well he's a boy, and a really intentional messy one at that.
He did better than I'd hoped. Knock on wood, nothing made it to the ground except his fork. He gave up using the fork for eating and opted to pick everything up. Whatever it takes I suppose. I ended up getting to eat a hot meal and he was pretty much quiet throughout dinner.
Of course after he was done he chose to use the fork for teething. After all he did cut two new teeth in, which I have yet to blog about. And of course being that they are teeth that affect his sinuses he's a dripping snotty mess. God bless being a Mommy.
