summerclad
Summer dress for baby. In cooler weather you could simply layer items over baby to be stripped off as they were soiled with strawberry yogurt and grape juice. Since flea-dipping the cat is easier than dressing a toddler, why not just skip it altogether?
Buy a case of plastic underwear (forget Little Swimmers, they are useless) and let the kid run around in these all summer. The waterproofing enables you to dunk baby in the tub, kiddie pool or lake immediately after food is taken. Another trick is to place the high chair in the yard. Babies have heartier appetites al fresco anyway. When mealtime ends, simply hose down the baby, bib, place, utensils and chair in one long, high-powered spray. Make sure baby is securely strapped so that he or she is not blown onto the lawn while wet, thus adhering to dirt, dead bugs and grass clippings.
