Have you ever chosen to ignore what your child was doing because you knew it wouldn't harm them and they were being quiet even though you knew it was making a big big mess? I did that the other day with Jack. He was sitting at the table with a bowl of apple sauce, I was blogging or reading a blog, he was being quiet, I knew it was going to be all over. I had taken his clothes off earlier because the kids had painted and he had paint all over his clothes. Needless to say I had to change his undershirt and get him dressed again. Ironically he had a bit of a blowout that evening, thank you Colin for cleaning that up, and he had to be changed again. The many joys of motherhood!

I think I must do this on a daily basis. You get to the point where even the biggest mess is worth 15 minutes to yourself. At least applesauce is somewhat easy to wash off.
Yes! I have totally let my child continue to do something messy and chose to deal with it later....I loved this post...it really spoke to me. If it isn't dangerous, I just let them do it for a moments peace.
Nice! I love the pictures.
