Samson's Mom is busy taking notes!! Notes so far: Easier to plant garden in kitchen than keep clean - keep extra disposable spatulas on hand to clean accidental vomit and poop accidents - and since Samson hasn't pooped and spread it all over the house yet, I should consider myself lucky that I'm just dealing with mud - (side note) don't buy expensive rug!
And yep you're right, kids take a LOT longer to mature AND their messes are usually a lot nastier to clean up. BLAH, ICK!!!
Give me a few more months and I'll probably calm down on the cleaning - MAYBE! Hey I've already consented to just mopping the floor after the last potty break of the night!
