Tonight, it's peas...

When you have a 16 month old you have to consider exactly what you want to clean up off of the floor after dinner. You have to consider splat capacity, stain longevity and doggie appeal.

Tonight, it's peas.

Splat factor is good - because of the outer shell of the pea containing the mushy goodness within on impact.


Stain longevity is good - but if you don't get them right away the mushy goodness can clot and you have to scrub.


Doggie appeal is bad - unless drowned in butter the mutt refuses them and butter throws all of the other factors in to disarray.


So tonight looks pretty good for simple clean up as long as I get them up before letting the evil out of the highchair. If not I run the risk of a 'Godzilla vs Tokyo' reenactment and all the planning is out the window.

Oh, and halfway through this post I had to get the crayola pencil from the evil as she was drawing on the kitchen wall.

16 months is an amazing time.
