that's a spicy meatball!

Harper is officially in the copying phase of her life. She repeats new words as soon as she hears them, and she loves to mimic what you do as best she can.

Today Erica was in the kitchen making some lasagna and Harper was eating some grapes. All of a sudden she started yelling, "yucky grapes, yucky grapes!" It turns out that she had grabbed our container of Tony Cachere's Famous Creole Seasoning, poured it onto a measuring spoon, and then dumped it on her grapes, just like Mommy. Now I love me my Tony's, and I like to put it on a lot of foods, but I think the spicy red pepper and the sweet grape flavor were not the best match for Harper.

Not even water could remedy the situation. Luckily we have an endless supply of gum on hand and the disaster was contained.

I hope this isn't a setback on Harper's willingness to try new foods...
