Cell phones and computers

Elizabeth is already proving she's a product of a new technology generation. This evening, she pulled out her Barney "laptop," sat down with it in the middle of the floor, started "typing," and distinctly said the word "e-mail." Now, how she knows the word "e-mail", I don't know. I don't think it's a word we actually use that frequently around her. But, she proved that she does know about e-mail, and she knows you type it on computers. Let's think about that for a minute - while most of the rest of us can remember when we first used a computer, and that it was a novelty, she will not ever remember a time when she didn't know about laptops and e-mail. For some reason, that makes me feel really old... I can't even imagine how it makes those of you who are really old (oh, say, those who might be turning FORTY tomorrow!) feel! :) Speaking of, Elizabeth has gotten really good at saying "Happy Birthday, Daddy" in preparation for tomorrow's festivities.

Elizabeth also had fun playing with her purse from Gran tonight. We put on lipstick, played with the wallet and pretended to drive with the keys while we waited for Granddad and Granny Pat to come over for dinner.



As you can see in this video, she's also figured out what the cell phone is for!
