I can across this article and boy did it make me wish I had a toddler at home again LOL

One mom decided that as mother we so often say the words "Don't" and "No" when our children are young and at play that she decided to have a party in which the words were not part of the itinerary...it was a messy party.

But back up, what prompted this was a moment when she desparately wanted to unload the dish washer and her toddler wanted desparately to sit right in the way on the floor with a sifter asking for flour...a "toy" she herself remembered loving as a child. So what to do? She scooted her toddler to a part of the kitchen that was unoccupied, handed him his a bowl, a cup of flour and a scoop...he already had the sifter. Thus the Messy party began, and she gleefully completed her chores.

So they decided that it was such fun, although a bit of work to clean up, that they made invitations and set everything outside on a grander scale! Large plastic table clothes/tarps were set outside with bags of flour, sifters, scoops, bowls; small tables with tubes of icing and bowls of frosting and sheets of thinkly baked sugar cookies; sheets of butchers paper covered the patio with kid-safe paint, rollers brushes and stamps. All the moms sat back and relaxed, chatted and watched in wonder as their little angels cover each other in flour, frosting, and water...and they never had to utter the words "don't" or "no" although the hose had to be put away as many of the youngesters couldn't aim properly and thus defeated not useing specific words LOL

So what do you think...could you do it? I would love to do it, myself!
