My Own Computer

John has been tossing around the idea of buying Addy her own computer for the last week or so.
It is not uncommon for her to announce "I need to check something", march down the hall, hop up on the desk chair and start typing away on our desktop computer (I think I must have said that a time or two). If we are on the internet she loves it when we let her use the scroll wheel on the mouse to move the page up and down.

So tonight the three of us went to shop for laptops. You should have seen us in the isles of Target discussing the finer points of each computer, you'd thing we were buying a real one.

"This one comes with a mouse but I don't like the programs."
"This one is nice I just wish the screen was bigger."
"I think the buttons on this one are two small for her."

The whole time we were reviewing our options Addy was happily playing with the floor model demo computer. She refused to leave until she realized that she was getting one and then insisted on carrying it around the store.

On the ride home she played with her laptop on her lap repeatedly saying "Look, I have my own computer!"

Needless to say John is very proud of himself right now!

I Wanna Go Swimming

Showing off her new swimy suit

It took about a week for Addy to talk Grandpa Jim into taking her swimming again. Addy has been taking swimming "lessons" from Grandpa Jim since she was 6 months old.

She loves the water, which is just amazing to me. She will hold onto Grandpa's hands and lift her legs up so she can float around the pool or walk around with her mouth open scooping up water like a little fish.

The little kids area of the pool is only 27 inches deep so she can walk around comfortably.

Here is a link to Addy's first swimming lesson
