How to appease a baby

Isak has started climbing on things lately. His favorites are our nightstand, our ottaman, and his little table. He does pretty well getting up, the problem is getting down. This sometimes leads to spills and consequent tears.
But he is still pretty proud of himself.
So this is the story. Kevin's sister Lindsey and her friend Mackie came into town today and stayed with us for dinner. They are both going to work for Kevin this summer doing pest control. They had lots of fun playing with Isak today and I appreciate their help in entertaining him! Come dinner time, Isak was getting close to bedtime as he had eaten earlier and was getting quite cranky. Being the great mom I am, I gave him some chocolate pudding and stuck him in his high chair so we could make it through dinner. I also threw some green beans up there for balance. He doesn't get much sugar too often (at least when I'm around, can't say what his father might do...) and was quite excited. And very focused.
Life was great until we took him out of his high chair and we just had one big chocolately pudding mess of a boy. Who got a bath and went to bed shortly after. Isak does need a haircut, as you can tell from his little side "wings". We're workin on it.

Nice, i love the pudding, and that you "balanced" it out with green beans. Did he even eat the green beans? that's funny!
