Sprinkles! Everywhere!

It happened yesterday—the blonde moment I started this blog for. Baby M saw the big container of sprinkles (you know the ones you get from Walmart/Target with multiple types of sprinkles all in one with individual spouts) on the table.
Well, she had been a little fussy (up up up!) and I was trying to get laundry from the washer to the dryer. So it was easy to give her the container. Less than two minutes later, sprinkles decorated my living room.

Silence really means a lot when you have a toddler. I can't even be mad—I gave it to her, didn't I? C'mon, blonde, you should've seen that coming. On the other hand, I've learned that having a content toddler sometimes makes for serious messes, and now she's old enough to enjoy the cleaning up part!
{Lucky for me, only one section of sprinkles was dumped on the floor, meaning I still have plenty of sprinkles for the Christmas cookie baking}
There have been other moments lately... Trying to wrap a Christmas present while M was awake and in the "helping" mood; teaching her to feed the dog (the dog is always hungry now, or whenever M sees the closet door, but this one gets put on Daddy); leaving the fish food on a level she can now reach on tippy-toes and thinking she can't quite unscrew lids, WRONG! In fact I have a similar iPhone pic of her with all the fish food spread out in that same location while the dog happily licks away.
At least the sprinkles are edible for her...
