Sophie and the computer

So the kids have a new (old) computer in their room now. It's a desktop and they are used to using our laptops so they are still adjusting to the change, especially Sophie since she hasn't ever used one before. She has a Dora game and I turned it on for her this morning and left her to play while I went to feed Maddie Rose. After a couple of minutes she came out and said she needed help because her game turned off. I asked her if she pressed any buttons and she said yes. So I asked her which one? She said "The one that says don't EVER press the button that you just pressed ever again" Really? There's a button that says that? I must have missed that. Turns out it was the power button. Apparently it speaks to Sophie...have to look into that.

You can't really trust anything Sophie says because she tells a lot of stories that are completely made up...but she tells them very convincingly so if you don't know that there wasn't an actual swarm of bees that stung her at Mimi's house you might believe her.

She's also a little confused about what an allergy is. She's heard us talk about allergies since Emma and I both suffer from them and somehow she has decided that she must have a problem too. So when she doesn't want to do something (like put on her shoes or put something away) she tells me that she can't move because she's run out of allergies. (energy?) This excuse hasn't worked for her yet, but she keeps trying. Good news, though...she was standing near me earlier and she found her allergies in her ear. I guess she can do things now.

Jace is funny too. Last night we were watching tv and a commercial came on. Jace got all excited and said "I LOVE those Mr. Moustache man chips" (Pringles) He was also telling me a story about something that happened last year on "Happy Fool's Day" (you know, April 1.)
