We had a nice surprise today.....Mr. Bean brought a very special something to the girls(Michael & I both agree our DHL delivery guy looks and talks exactly like that goofy Hollywood star). A brand new pink laptop~complete with pink wireless mouse! Now they can sit side by side while playing Webkinz together! Are my little girls spoiled, or what? I guess we know who has Daddy wrapped around their little girlie fingers! And now, we have eight (computers, that is).
Michael set up the computer as soon as it arrived, in anticipation of a very positively excited response from Laura. Well, stubborn little Laura wanted nothing to do with it. "I like black", was her response, indicating that she was.jpg)
perfectly content to keep my laptop monopolized for the rest of her life. Melissa had a much different response when she came home from school: "Is this for me?" she asked, wide-eyed. She squealed with delight when the answer was affirmative, and eagerly jumped on the couch to ready herself to try the new beautiful pink piece of technology in our family room. She asked me to be sure to make her excitement known today on the blog. Done!
Laura had another important event of her own....Kindergarten readiness screening. She broke down in authentic tears as we left our house, begging for Crispy to come with her....she is quite attached to her older brother, but this was a situation that she had to face on her own. (On Sunday mornings, Crispy finds himself as guest visitor in the 3-year old Sunday School room each week)With tears still streaming down her cheeks, she climbed into the car, trying to compose herself with a brave face. It was quite unusual to see her in such a vulnerable state.
Things went just fine, and Laura did a great job answering questions and following directions. She seemed to be having a good time doing "school", and
only had obvious difficulty with the gross motor tasks(no surprise). She "passed" the screening, and was approved to move onto Kindergarten when the time comes. Of course, I have to somehow get her to understand that that is 18 months from now, and not happening tomorrow. Hopefully she will warm up to her new pink laptop between now and then to help her pass the time.
