...you turn on your baby video monitor and...
scenario 1: the crib is empty
scenario 2: there's a freaky-ass mobile hanging up and you have no idea whose it is
scenario 3: there's a different baby in the crib than your kid
these are the joys of having a video baby monitor in the city where everyone is piled on top of each other. you know--it's not enough to hear each others' conversations, fights, and sex and to see into each other's windows, but now we can see through each other's walls, too. here's how it works:
there are two channels on our baby video monitor. when we switch from the channel in alexandra's room to the other option, we see any of the above three scenarios. they really freaked me out at first, but now i find them kind of amusing.
and, in my own juvenile prankster way, i want to hook our monitor up to some scary-ass face one day so that when someone else switches to "our" channel they'll be greeted with a photo of those black-eyed people from "True Blood" or something. i am a sick person.
gotta love urban living.
(this photo isn't our bassinet, but it's made of cardboard and can be recycled when your babe has outgrown it--tres cool.)
