How This Little Artist's Work of Art Shows That Parenting Isn't a Perfect Science

It's no secret that toddlers are masters of messes, and as a parent, sometimes you have to throw your hands up, laugh a little, and take a snapshot of the moment. Two-year-old Anistyn created the perfect mess — erm, work of art — for her mom to document.

Victoria Farmer was nursing her son, Madox, when she heard that familiar sound of silence — never a good sign when there's a small child in the house. She went into the next room to find Anistyn covered from head to toe in white paint, standing happily, clearly proud of her work.

Farmer says that Anistyn is often getting into things and making messes, but that doesn't stop her from taking photos and documenting the crazy. Parenting isn't always rainbows and butterflies, and sometimes that's perfectly fine.
