Classic Valerie
Nope, she wasn’t trying out for Blue Man Group: The Junior Edition. She’d found a rogue crayon of Sadie’s. Compared to that, how bad could it be to let her try the chili? Which she loved.
As of today she seems to have grasped and run with the idea she should grin face-wrenchingly for the camera, so she’s gone from serious in most shots to big smiles much of the time. This seemed more spontaneous, and is a classic picture.
Now if we could get her to sleep all night…
I’m guessing that the chili was not Terlingua five-alarm, not that there is anything wrong with feeding hot food to an infant. When Emrack was just starting on solid food, the wee wifey was leaving him with the wife of one of the Mexican laborers where she worked, who fed him as she did her own children, on Gerber’s strained jalepenos. He has found this part of his upbringing valuable. Nobody steals his lunch out of the work fridge twice.
