Painting With Pudding

This past week I noticed that Kendra still has tactile issues. She has become so functional that I haven't taken notice until last week. It began at a birthday party. Each child was given a cupcake. I observed how messy children's faces and hands became as they devoured their treat. Except my child...she used one finger to scrape the frosting from the cupcake and then licked it from her finger. The other experience was at Ben & Jerry's free ice cream day. Again children had ice cream all over their faces...except mine. She stuck her tongue out to barely touch the ice cream - her face wasn't dirty at all. Yesterday after dinner Kendra had pudding for dessert. She had to eat it with her fingers. At first she used one finger. After much encouragement we got her to stick all her fingers in the pudding, and then we made a big deal about painting! This did it for her! Look at my messy child! I love it!
