The center remote is my Logitech Harmony, which rocks HARD but PJ is not allowed to use it (no $80 super universal remotes to children that like to slam things on the floor, sorry). The third one is PJs current universal remote, which gets lost on an hourly basis.</p> <p>The Apple TV controller isn’t pictured because as usual it is lost. It is maybe two inches long, one inch wide and about a quarter inch thick. It is white, nearly impossible to find when the floor in his room is white tile.</p>http://pedrojavier.org/post/300141762http://pedrojavier.org/post/300141762Fri, 25 Dec 2009 13:05:22 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kv6oooDHdg1qzqwg9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Butterfly (via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/pvera" target="_blank">pvera</a>)</p> <p>This is for Karla.</p> <p>PJ did this with no coaxing or help whatsoever. Ivette was taking a nap and I was playing on the Xbox, and he walks in with this butterfly. The construction paper came from a notebook that he got as an early present from Karla. The antennae and legs came from another present, but they were intended to be used to make some kind of fish things. PJ obviously decided he had a more important/clever/whatever use for the craft wire than what the designer of the fish figure kit had intended.</p> <p>Oh, and the book is a gift from the same bundle, it was the only plain white surface I could find so the colors wouldn’t get obliterated by the lamps.</p>http://pedrojavier.org/post/299244756http://pedrojavier.org/post/299244756Thu, 24 Dec 2009 20:12:24 -0500
