How can someone so LITTLE cause such a BIG mess?

So I was feeding Veronika some veggies this afternoon when she decided to stick her little foot OUT of the highchair and knock the plate right out of my hands. She's never done that before so I wasn't expecting it... the orange squash/sweet potato/carrot mixture went flying right into my eyes, all over my shirt and pants... it was so unexpected that I placed the plate in the CENTRE of the little table next to her (so she won't reach it) and ran to the bathroom to wash my eyes.

But I should've known better. She didn't need to reach the plate... she just needed to PULL the tablecloth to make the plate COME TO HER, and then happily managed to dump the remainder of the food all over herself, the tablecloth, and the floor.

Ugh... this picture doesn't do it any justice! You should've seen the floor.... I know the fault is mine, you'd think after two babies I'd learn!
