John is getting so good at the computer. I haven't really showed him directly how to do much, but he's already clicking and dragging, he can do the various little games and activities all by himself, knows where to click to exit, or to answer questions, etc... I'm amazed!

Last night Rhonda went over to Family Resources for a meeting, so John was on the computer and Hanna and I were on the couch for awhile. We were watching Baby Bach and playing Barbies. Hanna often wants me to play Barbies with her. So, she wanted the Barbies to watch too, so we turned the dolls to the tv, and then I'd take my doll and ask her doll something, and Hanna thought that was very funny.

Somewhere, maybe Sue's house, or maybe sunday school, she learned the song "this is the day the Lord has made", and she likes to sit and sing that song by herself, and she always claps along with it, and she often wants me to sit and sing and clap with her. Last night I was getting supper made, but she wanted me to sit on the kitchen floor and sing, and when we were done she said "pick one", meaning pick another song, so we did and sang that, etc...

I also taught Hanna the Kung Fu! I kinda do a Bruce Lee hi-ya pose and do a karate chop, and Hanna does that too. But of course, the way she does it is so cuter than me!

I looked at my profile here for the first time the other day, and I was stunned. I started this blog in January 2003, and it said I've written over 103,000 words so far! Wow, I would never have guessed I had that much. But you know what that means? I could have had my novel done by now! This has given me renewed zeal to get after it, even though I have no time. In the blog, I rarely spend more than 5 or 10 minutes on a post, and average about 5 posts a week. So, with the novel, I don't need to write an hour a day. I can just take 5 or 10 minutes a day on it, and like the Hare in the fable, just keep at it, and slowly the words build up and in another year or so, I can be close to done! So, that's the plan anyway.
