Spaghetti Shirt

My 19 month old son likes to eat spaghetti with his hands. Or maybe he's just not that fork savvy yet. Regardless of the reason, it creates the biggest mess. And spaghetti sauce stains aren't exactly the easiset stains to get out of clothes. My son has refused to wear a bib since he was old enough to grasp it with his hands so that is out of the question.

My 4 year old had a plain red haines t-shirt that she never wore, so I put it on my son when it was time to sit down to eat our spaghetti dinner. Since it's bigger, the sleeves are a little longer to keep his arms fairly clean, and it's longer so it goes down into his lap enough to keep most of it off of his pants as well. It made clean up a bit easier, and definately erased the worry about stain removal. I have decided it is getting washed and put in the kitchen drawer for the times that we eat foods that usually stain. It's big enough that I could even put it over the shirt he's wearing if I wanted to use it while we were out to eat somewhere. I'm even thinking about getting a size 8/10 for my four year old. I can't believe I didnt think of this before.

Now...if I could just keep him from putting the bowl on his head.
