Day 5: After dark

[smittenbyu]

I wanted the sunset pic as these days we are outside to see it. But D was done for the day, saying farewell to grandparents who returned to India yesterday, a fun evening in the pool, and no nap to boot (although we seem to be back to no-nap days).

So, we had ourselves a cranky little girl by 8pm who refused food as she refused wanting to change to pajamas and then to sleep! ughh... But the magic light has been a saviour in many ways. It gets her to go potty before bed.

We got this solar-powered light in my India trip. It has the biggest environmental footprint however! Made in China, sold here in the US (as a garden light), imported to India where they added an "on-and-off" switch to conserve the bulb's life and made it back to the US with me! :) My parents' neighbor is selling them as Diwali corporate gift!

So the lid has the solar panel, during the day I put it out under the sun and it has given us so far 3 nights of light!! More than promised!

Speaking of bathrooms. I hope to capture this on video, but D takes her own bath (I sit on the toilet lid next to verbally guide spots she missed). She does a cute little dance motion as she scrubs her body and love how she rinses her ears!!

I like the idea of a 30 day challenge, and I especially like this photo! Such beautiful colours and lighting :-)

Maybe I'll get around to starting this challenge myself... I don't think I'd be able to take photos everyday though! Even the first challenge (self-portrait) is a tough one as I don't think I've taken any in a long time, haha
