I spilled something this morning and looked at Finn and said "Man, all I've done today is make messes...you ever have a day where it feels like all you do is make messes?"
Finn: Yeah everyday.
Me: Why on earth would you say that?! You don't make that many messes.
Finn: Because everyday when I get home from school you say 'Finn clean up...you get home from school and make tons of messes for me to clean up'.
DOH!!! Guess I need to give some more thought to how I present things to her.
In the end, sure kids make some pretty crazy messes. But sometimes, making messes is what it's all about! At least I know she was hearing me.
Now to work on reinforcing their cleanup behaviors...
