Spilled Milk

We were having breakfast and Jane looked at me with her glass of milk. She wanted to pour it on the table and from her expression, I knew she was asking. I panicked and was impressed at the same time. Impressed that she was asking.....my little two year old is asking permission to make a mess. Panicked because I was afraid milk would spill over the table and onto our plywood floors (yes, still unfinished floors!). It's not easy cleaning plywood! 

I yelled, "no!" And then caught myself.... "Not on the table, dear, let me get you a tray."

Kids learn so much when they're given the opportunity to play with their food!
