....so Lakai just got done throwing pieces of his grilled cheese sandwich, lovingly made for his lunch, at me, while laughing. Okay. I clean that up and he lets me know not so subtly that he wants more green beans. I go to the cupboard to get a new can and knock a wine glass off the counter shattering it into a million pieces at my bare feet. The only thing standing between my vulnerable feet and some shoes is... a broken wine glass. Damnit. The vacuum and broom are over there too. Okay, disaster averted. I have my shoes and the broom. I guess I took too long with the beans though because now as I'm setting them on his highchair tray he is shoving them in his mouth hand over fist and pulling them back out, laughing through his six clenched, bean flossed teeth. Well, I guess I'll clean that up and see if he wants some juice. Apple juice. It seems to be going over well... until I turn around and he has dumped the contents out on his tray and is smearing it around making a shiny grease slicked puddle that accounts for most of his tray. He looks up at me, smiling, with a piece of green bean hanging from his ear in such a way that it resembles an earring-- I can't help but smile... then... SPLASH! both tiny hands descend on the puddle spraying the sticky mess over the two of us. He giggles, and gives me this look as if to say, "aren't you proud of me mom? Look what I learned how to do!" ***sigh*** you gotta love it.
