The 365 Project

In my previous post I talked about not having a specific new years resolution, but somehow forgot to mention that I was feeling ambitious enough to take on a new project: The 365 photo a day project.  Hence, the reason I posted two photos to begin with.  I've seen other people start this, to only stop after a month.  I will be honest, I thought about it all darn day and yet didn't take any pictures until it was almost time to put my little one to bed. And, it's only day 2.  BUT, I did get it done and here I am.  My goal is to do two photos a day--one of something random (non specific) and one of my children (either both or one of them at least).  So here are today's photos:

Ok, tomatoes and ketchup.  Your probably thinking, "This is pretty random....what the hell is she thinking?  She must've been really desperate to take a photo of tomatoes and ketchup."  Well, no, not necessarily.  You see, as explained in my previous entry, I am in the process of trying to get my son, Pierce, to eat vegetables.  And, it's been a pretty slow process.  He will suck up his mash-ups until they are bone dry and he is blue in the face, but the solid stuff, he avoids like the plague.  However, he will eat tomatoes with my mom and eat lettuce or spinach out of my husband's salad.  But, even those can be a hit or miss.  So, the other day while he was napping, I made some lima beans.  I was like, I think I'm going to give some to him when he wakes up.  I mean he won't try them, or at least poke at them like it's a dead frog in a biology class, if I don't at least put them in front of him.  Then, I thought, I will give him a bowl of ketchup and see what he does.  So, when he woke up from his nap, I put the lima beans and ketchup in front of him.  To my surprise he ate them--the whole bowl!  He even asked for more.  Apparently, the secret is in the sauce.  So, tonight's menu: tomatoes and ketchup.  He didn't eat them all, he ate about the equivalent to two grape tomatoes, but hey it's something and it all goes to the same place--the stomach.

Now, for picture #2:

Come on!  How can you NOT look at this photo and NOT smile! =)  Babies are amazing!  They have the innate ability to make even the most hardened criminal or ice queen just turn into a pile of messy chocolate goo....

Till tomorrow!
