The Sun is Shining Today!

It really is true that sunshine raises the spirit. This morning for instance, it's like act one of a Disney movie. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, little buds are forming on all the plants and trees in preparation for spring blossoms, and it made me happy! Oh, and the days are getting noticeably longer, too. So, anyway, just thought I'd share that.

Okay, now for a Katie story. For Christmas, she got a kid-proof keyboard and that you connect to a PC via the USB port. Well, one of the features is that it requires a password to exit the program. This prevents kids from exiting the program when you're not looking and gaining access to the Windows desktop, which is not kidproof. So, I set it up with my usual password and everytime Katie tells me she's done with the computer, I exit out of the program for her by entering my "secret" password. Well, one day when she was finished with the computer, she asked Regina to help her turn it off. But, I hadn't yet shared the routine with Regina, therefore she didn't know what to do. No problem, though - Katie showed her what she needed to do. She said, "Here, you have to press these keys, like this." And she pointed to the letters and numbers in my no-longer-secret password! Once again, she demonstrated that she does indeed pay attention to EVERYTHING, even if it doesn't seem like it!

Oh my, that's funny. At least she hasn't figured out that she can do it herself yet. That's probably next.
