The babe polished off her dinner (which included a lot of olives) tonight with gusto and then wanted dessert. As she'd been fairly good throughout the day (except when I was trying to have a conversation with the chimney inspector at the new house), I told her she could have some chocolate soy pudding.
While we were chatting, she pulled off her bib. I know some kids this age don't wear bibs, but my kid does. She is sloppy and I don't feel like doing any more laundry than I already do. Anyway, I asked her why she took off her bib before her dessert. She told me not to worry and that she'd "be careful."
I then asked her what I could do if she did spill any chocolate pudding on her dress. She looked at me and replied, "you can clean me up!"
I sometimes wonder if she really is just 3 years old or if I somehow bumped my head and missed a few years. The girl has a mouth on her, but I was impressed by her comment so I let her eat her chocolate pudding without a bib. And ya know what? She didn't spill any pudding, just the soy milk I asked her to finish up after the pudding was done.
