Since the 7 Days theme for Day 2 is LIGHT, I decided to play with the Color Flashlight app on my phone. It does all kinds of trippy things like strobe light, police light, disco, even a photo of a flickering lighter for holding up at concerts. For this photo, I used the rainbow effect and a slow shutter speed. I drew a star because stars are one of my favorite things to doodle, in any medium.

You can just see that I’m wearing my TeeFury WHOVIAN t-shirt. That’s the one that I accidentally ordered two of, thanks to a glitch with the first order. Rather than returning it, I decided that was the universe’s way of telling me that it wanted Bonnie to have a WHOVIAN t-shirt, too. And she wore it to Disneyland on her birthday and it got her a free extra ride on Star Tours thanks to the Time Lord in disguise who was working there.

Can anyone tell where in my house I’m sitting? Clues: this location has featured in one of Annalie’s 7 Days photos before. It’s one of the darkest spots in our house during daytime, and a rather unique thing to find in a residential home.

*Suggested music for reading this post: “Starlight” by Muse. Coincidentally, Bonnie introduced me to this song when she gave me a mix CD a while back. This has been a very Bonnie-tastic post.

At naptime today, Elliora nursed and then declined to actually go to sleep. So we got up and played with Photo Booth instead.

In this one, you can hear her saying “yeah,” one of her favorite words; and you can see her bottom teeth pretty clearly a couple of times. Every time she leans forward, she’s touching the monitor where she could see her face, and occasionally banging on the keyboard.

When I say “ow” in this one at the :49 mark, it was because she flung herself backwards so suddenly that her head connected with my cheekbone rather painfully. I don’t know if, when she says what sounds like “back,” if she was actually saying that word. But I figured it wouldn’t hurt to repeat it and move her back to the laptop. At the end when I tell her to say bye-bye, she actually says, “ha,” which means “hi.” Contrary little twerp.

If you only watch one of these videos, watch this one. It’s the shortest, and there’s lots of laughing (plus me pulling faces) in it.
