North taming the Robot

We have an iRobot vacuuming robot ( same company makes the robots used in Iraq to dismantle bombs ). North likes to mess with it a lot-crawling on top of it, patting it. This is while it is off. The robot is made to be baby and pet safe. So I knew the day would come when North turned it on. He did today. I saw the thing cornered by North, and it was just working itself back and forth, bouncing off North and the wall. North was just watching. As I came to the rescue, North began to cry. I turned it off and held North till he stopped crying. To my surprise North is back messing with the Robot. He bought his blanket with him this time, and is capturing the robot with the aid of the blanket. See pics of him just as he returns to robot after mishap of turning it on and being a little frightened.

I Crawl, I Rock

Rearranging DVDs: North's sense of organization

Starting in the last few days North has begun his own organizational project. He takes DVD's and VCR tapes out of the stacks we have on the TV stand shelves, pulls them onto the floor, then pushes them fairly tidily under the TV stand. If I put them back in the TV stand shelving system, he pulls them out again and puts them back under the stand. He seems to think his way is better.
