Chocolate milk gets in her hair

There’s banana on her face

You can try to help her (if you dare)

But she eats at her own pace

Feeding herself is the way to go

Say all the parenting books

But have they seen? Do they know?

How my carpet looks?

Oatmeal is a hand cream

And cereal’s like confetti

When there’s a toddler on your team

It’s breakfast time — who’s ready?

by The FW

On a morning when there was more rice in the kitchen rug than Carter had liver pills.

I love the poetry, Sara! So clever.

Molly has started finger foods and the dog is loving it! My floors and table, not so much. I can’t imagine what it will be like when she’s drinking out of a real cup and truly spoon feeding herself! Can’t they just stay little forever?!
