I like Salmon!
As I mentioned a while back, I’m starting the long slow process of publishing the last year’s worth of photos. It’s a long process partly because I don’t make much time for it, but also partly because Jen and I have to put our heads together and try to remember why we took some of these photos. Many of them are a whole story, and over a year later it’s hard to remember exactly what was going on at the time. Some of them are much easier to remember than others, though.
Before Cole had his tonsils removed (last March), he was a finicky eater. Hard to blame the guy, his tonsils were the size of a grapefruit and eating was painful. So after his tonsils came out we made a concerted effort to get him to be more adventurous with his diet. Usually this meant that we’d make something new for dinner and then spend about 20 minutes trying to convince him to eat it while he would wail “I’m too scaaaaared to eat it!!!”. Then he’d try it, like it and swear that he’d eat it next time. But the next time around, he’d have long forgotten about his promise. So one day after investing half an hour convincing Cole to try salmon, I recorded a little video of him saying how much he liked it and then every time we had it after that, I’d trot out my laptop with the video on it and show him that he really did like salmon. Worked like a charm!
There’s other great stuff in there like a video of Cole shooing away Ally’s bad dreams and a really classic picture of Ally: Queen of the World!
