It's Morning in America!

The election is over--thank goodness there was a clear winner and the loser graciously conceded. It appears the country will move forward with energy and resolve. I would have been happy with either candidate--at various times I voted for both (without voting twice in the same election or primary). I just hope we can put the divisiveness behind us in the same way the country has put racism behind it

Yesterday Henry had a routine visit to the doctor. We got to there early and I let him sit behind the wheel. He's actually in my lap in this picture but he seemed to have a sense that he was driving the car. It did occur to me that I'm going to have to soon stop leaving the keys in the car when we are at home because he could be likely to get in and try to start it.

I looked over my blog after I posted this morning--I want to point out that the car is parked in the above photo--we were in the parking lot of the doctor's office, the engine off, and the keys out of the ignition. Reading over it and looking at the photo I realized people might get the impression that I'm actually letting him drive the car. We sat there for thirty minutes and I pulled Henry from the back seat to sit in my lap.As usual the doctor had the Ikea wooden toy that Henry enjoys. He got a second flu shot, she told me to give him Zyrtec once a day, and he got some medicine for a sinus infection. He was weighed at 27 pounds but that was with all his clothes on. I finally got out my portable DVD player and set it up in the car. I ended up switching it to hang higher on the seat so that Henry can't kick it. He seems to enjoy watching--I wasn't sure if he would like it because we don't watch much television at home. One problem is that it seems to skip. I thought it might be the DVD but I switched to another and it still skips, mainly when we hit a bump in the road. I wonder if a newer unit would be less sensitive.
