Eating What?

Barrett has brought putting things in his mouth to a whole new level. He really wanted to be just like his big sister and paint, so I thought I would let him have a try. True to form he decided that seeing what the paint tasted like was a much better plan. Although he did get some of the paint on the paper, he still ended up wear a good amount of it on his clothes, face, legs, and hands. He was too cute! I even brought out the step stool for him to stand on, well that was too much work, he had to sit down in order to create his masterpiece.

Then once he decided that he was done, he felt it was necessary to go around the yard and pick up all the pieces of fruit that he could find that had fallen on the ground. And it does not matter to him how they look, green, eaten by bugs or birds, he takes a big bite out of anything. You would really think that we just don’t feed this kid. But I promise we do, it’s just that everything has to go in his mouth.

While the kids were playing outside I left the back door open so that I could hear them and they could come in if they wanted to, while I was making some brownies for tonight. After I was done, I thought I would let Isabelle lick the mixing “spoon.” She had chocolate all over her face. I could almost not believe how messy she had gotten. But shortly after wards, once she was done playing and painting, she came inside to use the restroom, and washed her self all up. She had to first come back down stairs to get the step stool and carry it back up to the bathroom herself, but she cleaned up her face and hands. I was so surprised, when she came back down with a clean face. That was pretty refreshing.
