Good thing it’s summer because he eats in the nude…in his diaper of course.
You get chili smeared over his protruding belly.
Applesauce all in his hair which makes him look like a rock star with the blond Mohawk it help creates.
Cheese behind his ear. This isn’t anything except disgusting.
Banana bread crumbs stuck all over his face creating a five o’clock shadow because it’s stuck to the apple sauce that didn’t quite make it into his mouth…or hair.
And hot dogs in the flap of his diaper.
Yes, this is about as fancy of a chef I get on hot summer days with a husband who works late. Chili cheese dogs with apple sauce and banana bread. Yum.
So, what do you get? One untidy child.
And so, instead of carrying him with my arms extended to the bathroom to perform the usual “after dinner spray down” and for fear that all the hot dogs caught in the flap of his diaper will leave a nasty trail across the living room, Wyatt got a bath in the kitchen sink.
Why have I never ever done this before? With either of my boys?
Oh right, because there is usually a pile of dishes.
Seriously moms, if you haven't bathed a toddler in the sink, you should. These pictures remind me of Jamie and I at Dinkey Creek, our annual vacation spot growing up, where my mom used to give us baths in a rusted deep dish sink in the campsite's laundry room. Talk about embarrassing! But we used to love it! We couldn't have been more than four and had pig tails down to our waist. The only thing that would have made this pictures even more memorable is if Dax would have been in the sink too. Uhh, not a chance!
Maybe I’ll need to make sure those dishes are done more often.

.....and that is when you know that they just went from baby to big boy! So fun but so sad for mom when they all the sudden dont "need" or want the help as much anymore :( Its a great but heartbreaking milestone! LIttle buggers are so determined to be big too fast! And hey, atleast your dishes are done!
What a cute little guy. Isn't it so fun to watch them learn to eat with utensils. Or not. I love your yellow tulips too. Mother's Day present?
That second picture is totally a face that Gwen would make. I love that I see my kids in your kids! I'm sure I'll be giving Henry many a baths in the kitchen sink, thanks for the great idea!
We put Jane in the kitchen all the time! It is so deep and just the right size for a small child :) By the way, those yellow tulips behind Wyatt are my ABSOLUTE favorite flower ever! Love em'!
So cute! Love it. And I love the vision in my mind of what he looked like in the highchair eating his food all by himself! I will have to remember this sink idea when Chase gets to this stage of life!
LOL. I love the face this cutie is making in these pics :). The Dinkey Creek bathing sink....good times.
