It's a Brand New Day...

So whaddya think of the new topper? The idea is summertime, if it's not obvious. And yes, that is A. on the far right. There's another cute photo of him with a mohawk (what else do you do when you have to slather sunscreen all over a baby's scalp but create cute hairstyles?), but I liked this one. He's mad there because he was chomping on a lemon and I took it away. Don't worry, everyone, I gave it back.

Here in sunny California, it's gray and the sun is AWOL. About 6-8 times a year, G teaches a couple's communication workshop and has to take our big TV and VCR to the office for a few days. We substitute my tiny early-90's-era TV in our family room, don't have a second VCR, and the DVD doesn't work with this TV. This access to only 35 channels and no recorded video creates a bit of a crisis for A., as both Playhouse Disney and his beloved Teletubbie/Thomas videos are inaccessible. He rarely throws tantrums but he was really pissed off this morning. It's times like these I think, "Hmmm. Maybe we let him watch too much TV."
