Dan's Nightmare

Dan's worst nightmare has come true: Noah broke the remote control. The fancy one in the living room that controls the TV and the DVR. Dan is at a loss because the DVR won't work without the remote control and he is forced to flip between channels using the remote that goes with the VCR (oh the horror). Noah doesn't this realize the magnitude of what he has done but he will in the morning when he realizes that he won't be able to watch The Wiggles. To be fair, we can't be 100% sure that Noah is the one who broke the remote. We've dropped it on the ceramic tile about a hundred times. But we're not going to tell that to the people at Cox Communications when Noah and I take it back to them tomorrow.

Noah likes holding the remote, throwing the remote, and pushing the buttons (takes after his father). To keep him happy and to keep us from having to replace remotes every few weeks, we are planning on ordering Noah the "Weemote." It's a kid-friendly remote control that allows parents to program up to five channels in it at a time. Hopefully it will be worth the $24.95.

In other Noah news, he is doing great. He'll be 19 months this week and is running and talking nonstop. Last week he spent the a long weekend with grandma and grandpa while we went to Atlanta for a wedding. He had a blast, got a new pair of sandals for summer, went to McDonald's, and the railroad park. Grandpa even took Noah to his preschool class Passover Seder. From what we were told afterwards, Noah had fun, but he had more fun running around the building and pushing the buttons on the elevator. We had a nice Passover and Noah particularly liked the Charoset and matzah. He'll eat the matzah if it is served with something else (thus masking the taste).

He's just a happy-go-lucky kid. Dan and I went house hunting this weekend and Noah and my parents came to see a house we think we like. Noah was a riot. He ran all over the house, played hide and seek with the closets, and just had a good time. Needless to say he liked the house a lot given how at home he made himself. Then again, we could give him a cardboard box and could entertain himself.
