One of the many reasons I love Jon is because of his mad technological skillz.

I’ve been wanting a video monitor for awhile, since I worry about Maddox’s safety when he’s sleeping in his crib.  The chance of anything happening is slim, even though (as you can see) Mads requires a fair amount of baggage before making the trip to dreamland.  But I’d rather be safe.

Not wanting to spend $200+ on a video monitor that our child would probably use to sue us at age 10 for breach of privacy, Jon set up our old Dell laptop in the nursery and created an internal connection so we could watch our sleeping baby to our hearts’ content, but so none of the registered sex offenders in the area could tune in.

In any case, it’s wonderful to be able to check on Maddox while he’s napping, and it will make me feel a lot better at night.  And it’s great to know that I should avoid Storey Avenue at all costs when taking neighborhood walks this summer.  Two great advances at our house all in one weekend.  Tremble, world.
