So for dinner tonight, I decided to give Emery sweet potatoes because it is one of the few veggies that she actually likes. As I was feeding her, she started to grab the spoon to take bites herself (or just play with the spoon). Her hands were getting really messy and I knew that if I let this go any further, I would have a huge mess on my hands. And then I thought, "why the heck not?". So, I let Emery have at the bowl and spoon. She had a ball being in control when usually mommy is. It was a little burst of fun for her that she really enjoyed. Even though she was a complete mess, I didn't mind cleaning her up. She enjoyed the bath afterwards just as much =). So in conclusion, if you are ever thinking about telling your child no because you don't want to clean up the mess, next time try saying to yourself "why not", you may get an unexpected smile.

I LOVE that picture! One of my favorites of you is on Valentine's Day when you were a kid. I'm pretty sure you have some form of chocolate all over your face. It's classic, and so is this one.
