Because we should all do our part...

So today, in our ongoing attempt to get James to eat anything that is actually baby-sized (such as applesauce instead of an apple) we tried mashed banana. He wasn't having any of it, as usual, but when we gave him the regular banana (under careful supervision, of course), he perked right up. In this picture you can see his "man, these people are SO SILLY!" face as well as our current highchair arrangement...



We also went to the St. Patrick's day parade downtown, and managed to stay almost an hour, but eventually had to leave because I stopped being able to feel my face. Not good. But hey, at least I wasn't wearing a kilt!

And then it was time for the crowning glory of the parade, those paragons of virtue and pillars of the community, the Knights of Columbus. I think their float says it all:


Ah, such a noble cause. Help handicap children today! Or....don't....

In fact, please, for the love of all that is holy, don't handicap our children.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
