Exploring the toddler sense of touch - sticky!

I am always torn between whether or not to allow my child to get sticky and disgusting when trying foods or to try and minimize the damage.  For example today we have waffles.  I gave him a small container of syrup to learn about the dipping process.  My husband was horrified, he hates sticky!  Will loved to dip with the waffles and then later with his fingers.  He got his syrup everywhere simply playing with this new texture taste and experience.  I love to watch him explore new things but ugh why does it have to be so messy?  He got it on his face, armpit, chest and in his hair.  We went straight from the high-chair to the bath tub. So I'm torn whether or not to seek out a product that has the syrup already in it for the sweetness or grin and bear it with the sticky.
