Gusto

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long. I don't think I could even tell you what I've been doing...I've just been lazy. And for a week or so I have been thinking there is nothing blog worthy going on...so I've been trying to think of something to post about. Well, today while Talmage and I were eating lunch...it hit me.
I fixed some tomato soup, which I normally detest, but being pregnant will do strange things to you, and I've had a hankering for tomato soup. I was leery about giving him soup, because, well...that sounds like too much mess and not enough eating. I went ahead and gave him a small bowl of soup. He tried a little bit and WOW...it was like I hadn't fed him in months. He slurped that soup with gusto. He couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough (it didn't help that he couldn't spoon very much into his mouth to begin with).


And then he realized he could just drink out of the bowl. He drank and drank and drank some more. I refilled his little bowl three times, and he loved every drop of that tomato soup. Who would've known?

This was one happy boy. If only he would eat all the time like that.

Maybe you should post your recipe on your blog... sounds like a winner to me, but I don't know if my kids will slurp it... but I will give you 5$ bucks if they do!!!

I love the picture with him drinking the soup from the bowl. That is priceless! What a cute kid. It was definitely brave to give a kid soup.

Cute, cute, cute. I gave Ian Chicken and Stars soup the other day, and he didn't like it. Disappointing; that was my favorite when I was little. I'm glad Talmage liked your soup, though, because it's so inconvenient when they don't! You've gotta clean it all up, and then find something else to give them, which they usually don't eat anyways....
