Allowing Archer to play in the kitchen is less about trying to avoid all messes, and instead choosing which messes I’m willing to clean up. Each moment that Archer moves on to something new is a moment for me to envision the mess that’s about to ensue, and decide whether or not its worth his entertainment for me to clean it up. Broken eggs? As long as they stay in the kitchen, and don’t end up in the living room. Water in the sink, definitely fine with me, no matter how much ends up on the counters and floor. Sticky stuff like peanut butter, syrup, juice, dish soap straight out of the bottle, not ok.
