Peanut Butter and Jelly Hair

Since about 2 years, we have been fighting the battle of what my daughter will and will not eat. As a baby she would try anything and liked almost everything; as a toddler I can count the things she will eat on my fingers and some days on one hand. One of the things she does love is Peanut Butter and Jelly "on graham crackers" as she will tell you (she does not eat bread). So after asking her for 40 minutes what she did want we settled on Peanut Butter and Jelly. She is more of a player than and eater so it takes her far longer to eat than Daddy and I. So we are cleaning up the kitchen as she is finishing up. When I come back I find that she has not only smeared the rest of her peanut butter and jelly on her face, arms and legs but has also then turned to her other favorite pastime, spitting out her drink and smearing it on the table. Needless to say I was in ill humor about this. I put her in the tub and started rinsing her off (she had already had a bath earlier in the day due to another mess). I little while later I am getting ready to put her to bed and I keep smelling peanut butter. I look at her and notice that her front curls, which I thought were just a little wet from the rinsing are actually stiffened from peanut butter and jelly. While they were very cute and perfectly curled, I had to then get her out of bed and wash her hair.

Peanut butter seems to be on one of us at all times. Yesterday we put peanut butter on empty toilet tissue rolls and covered them in bird seed to hang for the cardinals. Clean-up still continues. We pb'd a dog, a table, a chair, and each other. Just found it on the door handle 20 minutes ago. Good luck!
