if it has a lid, it is terrific. carter will spend the longest time trying to put the top on something. whether it is a pot, a jar, a tin, you name it. he is determined to get it together.

he likes it even more than putting things in containers.

ava and i are watching season one of the muppet show. the tv has left the house, and now we only watch the dvd player. i cannot tell you how great it is that the giant screen is no longer here. i still appreciate the screen opportunity of the dvd player, but it is sooooo nice to just be able to say "no, we cannot watch tv" "but WHY?" " turn around, and look. do you see a tv?" "no"
