The real BSM: Potato pompadour
It’s not really a pompadour, but I happen to like alliteration, so pompadour it is. J’s been sickly the last week or so–even though I’d thought we were finished with that snotty nose and fever business. Because he’s sickly, his appetite just isn’t where it should be, although his sense of play is slightly elevated. Consequently, any fun, sticky-yet-fluffy food that comes within his reach is destined to become fodder for the camera.
This is the highlight of my Mother’s Day. Happy BSM!

He is so adorable. I love this picture.
Thanks, Sara :) There’s something magical about a pile of mashed root vegetables on a one’s head, isn’t there?
I hope he’s feeling better soon. Cute photo op though. And lovely photo as well, like always.
Melody: He’s actually getting better already, thanks!
Hehe. Mashed potatoes - good to eat, even better in the hair! Cute little man.
Thank you, thank you :) Actually, these are a lot better in the tummy–T made them and he’s got a way with mashed potatoes :)
Kids with food are always fun! What a priceless moment…
Well, they’re fun as long as they don’t start throwing it at the wall, which does happen ;)
Oh, my! That is TOO funny!!! Love the focus on his little hands. Hope he’s feeling better soon!
Thanks :) I have a fascination with those hands of his, so most of my selective focus shots with him are on his hands!
What a cutie. Mealtime is always an adventure around here!
Adventure is the right word, isn’t it? It’s always interesting to see what’s going to happen next around here. Will it be a spitting the food across the table night or a babbly conversation night? Maybe both?
oh my…that is quite a “do”!
How diplomatic of you :) It really is horrible, isn’t it? The bath water was practically thick with potato. Ew!
What handsome little man! Great capture… I love the b/w conversion!
Thank you! I don’t know if we can call Mr. Potato Head handsome at this moment, though–you’re just totally kind :)
I hope he is feeling better now. That’s a pretty creative use of potatoes. ;)
Yup, he is–no coughing tonight, thank God! Anyway, I’m thinking of enrolling him in art classes. His work in potato shows promise, don’t you think? Or not :)
oh, that is so cute!!
Thanks for saying so :)
I laughed out loud at the potatoes in the hair. I can’t count how many times M has gone straight from table to tub. Awesome picture, as usual.
Sorry to hear he’s been under the weather. Spring should be a time of wellness, not lingering winter-y yuckness!
True, it should be a time free from sickies, but it’s still cold around here, and windows defintely are still shut most of the time. In fact, this morning it was 29F here. Eh.
Oh how adorable - he looks like he’s having a blast!
He’s always having a blast at dinner, whether he’s smooshing potatos on his head or finding another way to yank my chain. I swear, it’s always something new :)
Ha ha ha ha! That is awesome - what a great shot! And what a nice mommy you are to let him put potatoes in his hair!
Actually, T’s a nice daddy. I was off somewhere else when this started, or it probably wouldn’t have gotten this far :)
Awww… so sorry your little guy isn’t feeling well. Great pic, though! So cute.
He’s much better, thanks! The rain photos you have for Best Shot Monday are so cute!
omg that is too cute. hope he feels better soon!
He does feel better–thanks for the well wishes. We even went outside and transplanted some trees this afternoon without a coughing fit!
And it’s a highlight of my evening. I adore this moment!
Oh, thanks, Melody–glad to be of service :)
Oh my gosh! How cute! Great shot.
Here’s my Monday

Love the potatoe pompidor!
It’s thinking like this that will ensure he surpasses Elvis in fame.(:
Well, he’ll surpass Elvis in fame around here, at least. His grandma would take offense to that comment, though. She thinks Elvis is a god, and J may be a favorite grandchild, but NOT exactly Elvis :) )
