We just can't have nice things!

If any of you have listened to Jeff Foxworthy you will understand. My mischievious 2 year old boy first stepped on our laptop computer as a way to reach the things on top of the fridge (which were only put up there so he couldn't reach them). That is how the screen cracked and we can't hardly see through the wooly willy effect, especially the very important upper right corner. That is why we moved the computer downstairs to hook it up to the plasma HDTV we got for Christmas. Unfortunately he discovered he could pluck keys off while no one was watching.

Only 4 letters (AQOL) and 3 numbers (129) remain. Typing is much slower now. I really hate typing in passwords when it shows asterisks in place of what you type because I'm really not sure if I'm getting it right. Although I memorized the placement of the letters, the keys don't feel the same when you are only pushing on rubber nubs.

Siblings

Sabian must not be having a good day. I have heard only two things come out of his mouth, the first being a high pitched annoyed scream, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" (which grates at my nerves and makes me want to tape his mouth shut). The other choice phrase he has been saying all day is "Naomi did it!" Sabian is merely upset he can't have his way all the time. Such is life. Were it not for the whining, I might actually pity him.
On a funnier note, Adora played a joke on her daddy. Adora is a child who hates to have her nose wiped and always turns her head when she sees a tissue coming and more often than not needs restrained to accomplish the task. Andy said he was surprised the other day when she actually held still and let him wipe her nose. He then looked at her and Adora stuck out her tongue and blew a raspberry at him then smiled as if to say "there, that will show you." Adora is so much fun. She can now walk a few steps between open arms. May 29th she decided to try walking. My parents had fun with her and showed me her new trick as soon as I got home from work. Her enthusiam was funny. I always figured she could walk if she tried, but until now, she had no desire, after all, she could crawl fast enough to get into all sorts of trouble. I think the motivating factor was the warm weather. Now that she was wearing shorts, the carpet felt rough on her knees and crawling was less fun. On the grass she walks like a stink bug on her hands and feet with her butt up in the air. I'll try to get a picture one of these times, it really is quite comical.
