that my beautiful boy isn't particularly messy.
He has to be just about the tidiest cleanest eater I've ever seen
and he enjoys tidying his toys away for fun.
He doesn't particularly like messy things
and will poke tiny little morsels of dinner into his mouth
rather than leaving them on his lip
or pick up crumbs on the high chair tray
to put them back into his bowl.
I have long given up hope of getting lovely food covered photos of him
because it just doesn't really happen.
But sometimes, just sometimes
we get a glimmer of a proper messy little boy
who empties toys all over the place
and then laughs about it.
Last weeks winner for the 'Surprise' challenge was this photo:
Crumby Mummy officially becomes he first double winner of Photo of the Week
with this little gem of a picture.
I especially love the little story of the trouble they went to to get it,
because that's what a photo challenge is all about.
Here is the swanky winners badge if she wants it.

Ah to have a child that's not messy !!! lovely colours in this photo and I may be bringing my child round for 'tidying up' lessons !!!
ReplyDeleteHehe. Tidying up lessons are free, just so long as you don't want to actually play with any toys. X
DeleteCount yourself very lucky! My daughter's bedroom usually looks messy five minutes after being tidied, she manages to cover herself, her table and the floor in food at mealtimes and she finds it funny to empty our shelves of DVDs and books!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely cut from the messy mould, so having such a tidy child is very bizarre. Although I have always insisted on only have a couple of toys out at one time so perhaps it's rubbed off. X
DeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE those colours and the mess ;)
ReplyDeleteWe do have a very colourful collection of toys. X
DeleteI LOVE how the bright colours stand out against your white clean crisp furniture/walls! And the Beautiful Boy looks as beautiful as ever! Can't help but smile when you see his cheeky grin! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat was him cheekily pulling a face at me because I asked him where all the mess came from. He's a proper little monkey sometimes.
DeleteOur game is to take as many toys out of the box as possible!
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely the game here. Fortunately he had as much fun putting them all away again afterwards. X
DeleteMy theory is it's ok as long as you had fun making the mess.
ReplyDeleteExactly. And judging by the cheeky face he had fun making this particular mess. X
DeleteHis room looks like so much fun, great picture hun x
ReplyDeleteI wish it was his room. That's my living room that he's completely trashed in this photo. We always start the day so tidy but the toys multiply as the day goes on. ;) x
Deleteyou lucky lady! My daughter permanently has something on her face or her hair all over the place! lol. x
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it will last, it may just be a phase. But it's definitely an advantage while it lasts. X
Deletehaha ... cute ... a boy after my our heart!!
ReplyDeleteHehe. He is a little gem. X
DeleteWow - aren't you lucky! Andrew's a neat eater, but that's the extent of his tidiness. He can destroy a room in a 3.2 seconds! lol!
ReplyDeleteVery! Although I'm sure he'll grow out of being tidy, he can still destroy a room pretty quickly, he just likes to tidy it all up afterwards. X
DeleteLol... that lego "mess" looks pretty clean to me! Jaxy is quite the messy maker! LOVE your winning pic! Such a sweet face!
ReplyDeleteYeah I suppose it was a pretty clean mess. But it was still a pretty impressive spread of his toys. X
DeleteHe looks adorably cheeky! Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteHe is definitely adorable. And most definitely cheeky. ;) x
DeleteI have missed see it snap it love it- I will be sure to join in next week! x
ReplyDeleteAwww, we've missed you too. Start planning your 'Peace and Quiet' photo ready for next time. X
DeleteHis face is a picture! I love the look of wild glee x
ReplyDeleteHe was doing a lovely fake laugh at the time, which is why he looks like a maniac. X
DeleteI love his cheeky face! Oh to have a tidy child though, my youngest could spend all day emptying out boxes and cupboards!
ReplyDeleteOh he still spends a lot of time emptying stuff. Fortunately he likes tidying it up afterwards. X
DeleteWhat is your secret? I spend hours cleaning for it to look as mess again in five minutes. One of my boys tries to tidy but he just throws things in boxes and I am suprised he doesn't break stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a secret. I'm messy by nature so who knows where he got it from. X
DeleteLets hope he stays tidy! But glad he enjoys a mess occasionally!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. If he wants to start tidying up after me that would be great too. X
DeleteNot very messy! But I just love joining in! http://capturebylucy.com/master-messyish/
ReplyDeleteThats about as messy as we manage at mealtimes. Have added your link into the linky. X
DeleteNow I know why you have white everywhere! You were forward planning so that mess would just look colourful and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHehehe. If only I had been forward planning. It's a lucky accident really..... that and the fact that they don't seem to make many children's toys in white. x
