It was a quick trip out to the shed to deliver morning caffeine to the Mr. I had left the lid off the THREE litre milk bottle because I planned to sort the smallest kid with a glass of milk. Gone thirty seconds. Tops. Precisely how long it takes to decide you’re a two year old with a penchant for swimming-in-milk muesli and yoghurt...
Those who know me well probably wouldn’t jump to describe me as “so laid back she’s almost horizontal”. But I dig a kid with initiative and I out-and-out belly laughed over the spilt milk (there’s sooooooo much more on the floor).
Damn it, I’ve come a long way.

You just gotta love a girl who knows what she wants and how to get it...

yep.
you've gotta laugh :-)
ps i learnt how to cable last night, the bug has bitten...
Very funny - impressed that you have straws in the house (and can find them quickly in an emergency)!
oh - yes - sometimes the laugh requires a big deep breath before hand in my house! Love the jumper - one of yours?
too cute!!!!!! we do have similar antics in this house,a little miss who can open the fridge and freezer and now undo bottles...its scary, her favourite is juice at the moment!
Corrie:)
Hysterical...
I REALLY need to get some pointers from you re: the horizontal lay back...maybe I should have another baby?!?
NO - just kidding!
Whoops! How cute though, and of course you've gotta laugh at these moments!
So glad you're teaching her about the importance of calcium in her diet .
and she doesn't look at all 'notty now .
hehehehe
I reckon we spend at least $10 a week on milk that I may as well pour straight on the floor.
I think the important thing is that you made morning coffee for the Mr. As your sole male follower I applaud your initiative.
Are you or are you not the domestic goddess of the moment? Coffee for the Mr, Rice Pudding, angelic child dressed to nines in (handknit?) gorgeous woollen thing. Of COURSE she had to go and pour the milk everywhere, with a cute outfit like that on.
Just GORGEOUS!!
Wonderful! You brightened my morning!
Oh they are so fast! Its like there's a secret plan all worked out. They are such a lesson in spontaneous creativity and... letting go. You did well. :)
mmmmmm gotta love spilt milk. glad you were laughing. most of the time my "independent" 2 1/2 year old has me smiling over spilt milk through gritted teeth !!!!
Yes cute and annoying. Good response - well done!
Made me smile.Love that you had the presence of mind to grab the camera!
You have handled the spilt milk well. I have posted your lovely photo on my blog now. Thank you.
Awwww she's so precious!
Ha!! It's amazing how long their arms really are isn't it?!
Good on you for indulging in belly laughs instead of the other (less fun) alternatives.
And for photographing the evidence!
Ok now I'm crossing my legs and trying not to spit my cordial all over the laptop!
This one is such a character... That is adorable.
Looks like the recommended daily allowance for calcium was well and truly met on that day. Well done for keeping your cool!
These photo's need to go in the album with the 'butter with bread' ones. Your little one has an interesting sense of quantity which I admire. I also admire your response! Ha! xo
That was really funny I wish I had been there. The look on her face is adorable. Well done Mum for seeing the humour and photographing the event.
the straw looks like it did the trick....very sweet post!
I dig it too!!!!!! Hard to get upset at such a cutie patootie...I think I would get the same result or something similar if I walked away from my 2yr old too...Let them be children, I guess is the excuse huh :P
I am very proud of you and your reaction. And I bet the belly laugh made you and your girl feel good.
Not only does your dear sweet one have initiative, but good strong arm muscles. 3 litres of milk weighs a tonne!
(Spot the blogging mother - you picked up the camera before mopping up the milk, yes?!)
That's brilliant! Love the proud look on your daughter's face too... just priceless. The old adage about spilled milk is too true. Thanks for the compliment on my bag making skills! xx
That 2nd pic is about the cutest thing ever!!! That expression rocks!!
That's pretty awesome, Tania. I love the straw!
That smiley face is just precious x
she can just come and help the european milk farmers who are spoiling millions of litres of milk on their land because they do not agree with the low milk prices they get. she is at least their hero of the day... and mine; what a smile!
x eb
You know what they say - no point and all that.
Loving how pleased she looks in that second pic.
Self reliance... I like that in a girl! Way to go.
And a good belly laugh is the perfect tonic... or pre-mopping up mood-lifter.
when you need your brekkie ... you need your brekkie ... that bowl is big enough to swim in cleopatra styley! Too cute!
Uh Oh! But oh sooo cute :)
She's an independent little sweetie!!
Oh, and just to let you know Metropolis isn't selling fabric, I sourced the fabric from Superbuzzy. Would be a dream if Metropolis did sell fabric though!
Yeap, you got to applaud that go-get-em attitude. Oh dear. All that milk.
awww cute! so cute!
So resourceful. And cheeky! I love this.
Oh. you've got me belly laughing with this one!
What a cute photo despite the milk swimming pool;)Well the 7 years old can still do it...but I need to learn to be a bit more horizontal;)))
Love the straw!
kids tend to do it to you, they make you laugh when you know your the one who has to deal with the mop afterwards. as I keep reminding myself..gotta love them, they do make us smile & they are sure worth their weight in ..milk!!!
i had to laugh at my little ones use of a cookie cutter the other day, yours though, is priceless :)
Haha - very cute. If she was my nephew though, she would have placed the carton on the floor and then jumped on it! Yes, milk dripping from the ceiling....
what a cutie
I don't like milk but I guess I would dring milk with him,lol
My 2-yr-old is EXACTLY the same! Always up to mischief/iniative :) (especially when it comes to food!)
Love your response... if only I could be this patient ALL of the time!
x
What a cutie! Made my day!
LOL! This is PERFECT. Good job laughing over the gallon of milk puddling on the floor.
Yay for not crying over spilt milk!
Oh that's fantastic! Glad you could giggle!
