Mashed Potato Art

Silas ate mashed potatoes tonight. That's a big deal, because Silas doesn't particularly care for potatoes. I was so pleased he was happily eating and turned to eat my own dinner. Then I turned back and saw this.



He was so happy.


"Take a picture of me! Take a picture of me!" Says the 5 year old.
And on the opposite end of the spectrum, my fastidiously neat eater; the child who will have a moderate panic attack if a miniscule smidgen of food is even remotely on his skin. This one never played with his food, never created "art" with it. Silas is a whole new ballgame for us.

Hi Krista
'Yay!' about the potato! Mya has gagged on it since I first started her as a baby, and despite me continually putting a little on her plate we have had no further success. However, now 2 weeks off turning 4, she tells me she likes potato now and has eaten it two nights in a row! Kids!

Morning Ethan, This is Bonney. I sent you a birthday card but never heard from you and now I know why. You weren't even at the place I thought you were. You were down in New Zealand. How lucky can you be. I am sooooo.....jealous of where you are living. Bonney
