Flight84 I LOVE photography. I have a Canon Powershot also, but mine is the A2200 series (I think). It's a 14MP and I love it. I was torn between the Canon and the Nikon, but I'm so glad I went with the Canon. I love the toy camera features and the macro. I also use...

Do you do anything special for the fall season?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 29 Sep 11

I've been at work all day (doing another 12 hour shift!) and it finally slowed down enough for me to slack off and come on MyLot for a bit. Anyway, all day today it's been windy as heck but GORGEOUS as ever outside - so we've had...

Flight84 Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! My husband and I have always carved pumpkins together and we let our 16 month old son fingerpaint his. We'll probably go on a hay ride through an apple orchard and go to a pumpkin patch. I do photography as a hobby so...

Flight84 First off, let me say I am an Atheist. I'm not loud, rude, or ever in anyone's face about it either. I'm very respectful to any and all religions as long as I get the same respect in return. Feeling like gifts don't have to be given doesn't make you an...

Toddler diets

Flight84 @Flight84 (3048) • United States 7 Jul 11

I have a one year old son and he's a pretty good eater so far. He loves fruits and vegetables and actually prefers water over most juices. What foods do your toddlers enjoy? Are they picky eaters or eat anything?

2 responses

Flight84 Yeah, I try to keep my son from eating too much junk food. I don't mind letting him have a cookie or treat every now and then, but I don't want him to develop bad snacking habits early on.
