I am nothing like my sister...

Most of you know that Ella is very, very neat -- i.e. clean, tidy, does not like to be dirty. She is about as dainty as they come. She instantly asks to wash her hands if she gets even a speck of food on them, dabs at the corners of her mouth with her napkin (very dainty!), and I have never seen her get so much as a drop of paint anywhere when she is painting. In fact, she always points out where there is a speck of dirt on the ground and tells me I need to clean it.

Well, Cooper wants to make sure we get the full baby/toddler experience and is vowing -- even at four months -- to be as messy as possible. We mixed a bit of pureed prunes with his rice cereal. Two minutes into the feeding he was so messy that we had already gone through half a roll of paper towels. He was getting food everywhere. He dropped it all over the bumbo, himself -- everywhere. At one point his feet were covered with food and then the kid started eating the food off of his feet?!? Seriously?? Oh BOY!
