Cameras Should Be Black
Everybody knows that Toby is a fancy schmancy photographer, right? So it’s fitting that I should buy* Baby Bug a toy camera. But when I brought this little blue gigham number home and showed it to Toby, he said that Baby Bug wouldn’t like it because it wasn’t black like Daddy’s.
So I did what I do with anything I don’t like the color of. I pulled out the Sharpie and started coloring.
But the cool part of this story is that while I was coloring (with the foul smelling marker and playing many many trick-the-baby games to keep her from my foul smelling marker), Toby made this really cool movie of us. (3.5 megs, quicktime. It’s a whopper but really good quality. You Tube version here.)
He’s such a super dad.
*This purchase was made way before the new “screwing-down-the-screws budget” we have recently adopted. No more silly stuffed toys will be bought for a very long time.

Beach Day!
Toby had to go out of town for a photo shoot, so instead of staying home all alone I called up my mom and my nieces and talked them into playing hooky from school for a day and hanging out with Baby Bug and I at the beach.
It wasn’t exactly a “beach day” but that didn’t keep us from enjoying it.
I was kind of excited for Baby Bug to wear her real swimsuit to the ocean for the first time and actually get it wet. Last year, she was too little. This year we’ve gone to the beach a lot but we usually go in the early morning or late afternoon just for a walk or a romp in the sand. We haven’t actually gone for the whole day where you need to break out the swimsuit and sun block. She loved it. She even got bowled over by a small wave. She didn’t like it too much but that didn’t stop her from wanting to go back out for more.
Of course the best fun was making sand castles. It always is.
