31 for 21: Fun with Food

I had some cleaning to do in the kitchen today, and I needed something to entertain Ben.  My to-do list included: unloading/loading the dishwasher, scrubbing some pots and pans, cleaning Ben's booster seat and mopping.  Now that I'm recapping, I realize I still need to mop.  Ugh.

Anyway ... I heard somewhere (I can't remember where - I could have just made this up) that playing with and experiencing foods of different textures would be good for Ben's development.  Yogurt would have been a good choice, but I had no yogurt.  I did have half a box of chocolate instant pudding. 

I made the pudding, put a big glob on the tray and gave Ben a spoon.  Here's what happened:

I got a lot of cleaning done while Ben lived it UP.  I don't think very much actually got into his mouth.  

Needless to say, I added "bath for Ben" to the to-do list.  And once he was clean, I cleaned the booster seat.  :)
