Toddlers are... JOYFUL!!!
John ate applesauce, bananas with peanut butter, and milk for breakfast this morning. He ate the peanut butter by taking it off the banana and putting it into his mouth, a thoroughly messy affair. Afterwards, Dan gave him a shower and I got him dressed for the day.
As I was thanking Dan for giving him a shower, saying, "When a toddler eats peanut butter with his fingers, he NEEDS a shower," I heard a gleeful giggle from the next room.
There was John standing in the kitchen next to his high chair, peanut butter surrounding his mouth, giggling like crazy.
What happened was that when John had told me he was finished from breakfast, there was still one banana slice with peanut butter on his tray. I had put it down on my chair and had planned to clean it up later. John cleared his tray for me and was quite proud of himself. I knelt down and started giggling, too, at which point he gave me a big hug, making a clothing change necessary for me.
Toddlers are great!

Mmmm... peanut butter... Petra loves eating bread and peanut butter, as follows: First, scrape as much peanut butter as possible off the bread, and direct it towards your mouth. Then, poke a hole in the middle of the bread. Working radially outwards from the hole, break off pieces of the bread and eat it, until you have only the crust left. If you're really, really hungry, eat the crust too. Otherwise, stuff it into Mommy's mouth, whether she wants it or not.
Toddlers are hilarious!
