How can a mess be wonderful? Well that is a great question. There is beauty in chaos. There is beauty in wiping the spaghetti stained face and hands of my daughter before she touches my laptop typing unknown letters. There is beauty in seeing the twinkle in her eyes as she somehow knows in the recesses of her toddler mind that she is about to do something naughty but yet she just can't seem to help herself. The lightening quick speed is which I have to protect my laptop, grab her hand, and then wipe her face simultaneously is nothing short of superhuman. I will let you ponder that for a while. Till next time. Up, up and away.
