Sounds good in theory, right? I thought it was pretty smart.
I guess Lu thought I was challenging her abilities and with a devilish little smile she smeared the spaghetti all over her freshly washed hair!
I give up! We might as well just dye her hair red, with spaghetti being her favorite food and all! I mean, I'm starting to dream about spaghetti in my worst nightmares!
Ding! Round 1! But, don't get any ideas Lucy honey, I'm not giving up that easy! The war is on!
Never despair, there is always some good to be found in any mortal experience. Once I was past the point of caring about messes, I handed her a regular plastic cup of water without any handles and she drank perfectly all by herself without spilling a drop. She did it again perfectly at dinner tonight, so it wasn't just an ironic coincidence that she would be flawless when it mattered the least. The only problem is after she is done drinking she wants to fling it around, but merely drinking poses no hazards. Way to go my most coordinated almost 15 month old child!
Sorry, I can't resist bragging. It helps me cope with the more challenging aspects of her sweet personality! I'm pretty sure the reason she is so advanced is because she practices all of her skills all night, every night, when she wakes up multiple times. Maybe they should do a study to see if waking children frequently accelerates fine motor skill development or something, because if there was a correlation my life would be explained! I should have been a scientist!
