    <content type="html">Ada's drawing of the day "started with grass" but went on to draw a castle touching the moon and a temple ("not a mountain") containing the sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me, I had a dream where I was naked (thinking "I'm often naked in my dreams, I can be cool about this even in reality").  At a party.  Trying to social-distance.  With a trans guy wearing plastic pony leg pants (kind of a synthetic faun) arriving late à la White Rabbit.  And a beautiful sunny room with skylights and pillows just down a hall full of people that I should probably keep my distance from…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brains are wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=metawidget&amp;ditemid=223245" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;So, we found that Oscar was having a blast in a laundry basket in front of a mirror.  Then I took some video footage (not thinking, I took it portrait-sideways, which is why the laptop is on its side).  Then Oscar saw the video of him, and I had to take another video of him enjoying the video of himself in the mirror.  I'm sure someone has thought of this before, but we were laughing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://metawidget.dreamwidth.org/168841.html#cutid1"&gt;Recursive baby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And yes, he was similarly excited at this video too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are some stills of Oscar and the mirror (without recursion):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://metawidget.dreamwidth.org/168841.html#cutid2"&gt;Non-recursive baby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After all that new media excitement, Oscar is now sleeping soundly beside me, for now…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=metawidget&amp;ditemid=168841" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
