If the cow people made cameras

My husband and I were sitting at the kitchen table recently over lunch when the topic of "can a person still buy a film camera?" came up.

" Sure on kijiji, I think"
"no I mean new" he said.
"oh, no I don't think so."

The converstation continues onto prices of digital cameras and why are we still refering to them as digital if we can't buy film cameras anymore.

"good point. ...  I don't know. Some photographers only shoot with film though even still. The quality is unmatched almost I'd say. But you can't see you picture when you take it."

"why haven't the inventers came up with a way to do that." he asked.
"I don't know. Probably because you'd need to pass light through the film to see it and....."
"yeah but we have people who can make a big machine that will milk a cow entirely roboticlly and dip the teets and take its tempature...and you're telling me they can't make a camera that can read both film and digital.?"

"I don't know...Maybe the cow people should build cameras..."

Potty Training Day 5

After great thought and testing....or something like that. I've decided to put potty training aside because I agree with the experts that my little guy is not ready for potty training.
I came to this conclusion after great observance, and perhaps some added things to stress us out like a cold,teething, prego hormones and a smoker quiting smoking (husband).
There is likely no good time to start potty training but he is missing some important abilities like saying poo or pee or ....hey lady, i want to use the singing toilet!

In retrospect, I didn't mind trying. I learned lots and I think C didn't mind the nudy time.

Potty Training - Day 3

So we didn't get in any nudy time for Mr. C today. I tried to get to him this morning before he was awake but trying to bustle a sippy cup of milk and a potty up the stairs and over a barrier is not my most graceful accomplishment.

We have been able to stick to the cloth diapers and he has been showing signs of crying more when he is damp or messed. Good to see that .

But more or less it was a pretty uneventful day in the potty department. I'm almost to the point where I thought of sitting on that potty myself to make it sing! Then he'd want to try it. Sure would! He wants all my cool stuff...like my cell phone, the food off my plate, my endless roll of toilet paper.
