Looks can be deceiving. 

This mess may look like a failure...but it was a great success! 

 

 Three nights in a row my daughter ate a good amount of her dinner! I must admit, I don't always love cleaning up the mess after a meal with an 18 month old, but I much prefer it when it means she ate well and fed herself! (The other kind is when she throws it on the floor and won't eat at all.) 

I'm grateful for the times my baby eats well!
