April 18, 2000 - Tuesday
We have a TV in our bedroom and, although I know it's a bad habit, I often watch it a little before going to sleep. At that time it's usually the news, or maybe one of the late night shows, and by then Harry is usually asleep in his nearby crib. I don't know for sure yet, but I'm starting to think that the TV bothers Harry. It's never very loud at all, and I'm sure he can't mind the newscasters, but TVs emit a very high pitched (electrical?) tone when they're on and I wonder whether Harry hears it. Perhaps, it's just my guilt, but it seems he becomes much more restless when I'm watching the TV, as he was last night.

It's supposed to be spring now, but Harry's mother took him for a walk to the grocery store and had to bundle him like it was still winter. He did wear his relatively new denim spring jacket, but also a cap underneath its hood and blankets strewn about him. Fortunately, Harry was a winter baby and doesn't yet know the pleasures of real spring weather. He's had a taste of it lately and hopefully it won't be long before he can see the real thing.

Minutes before they left, Harry's aunt and uncle confirmed that when they move next month, they'll be able to move into a free corporate apartment not too far from where we live. It will be only for a few months, but long enough to conduct a real search for a house of their own.
