Technologically challenged...

How is it that a 5 1/2 year old has to teach her mother how to use an Ipod?  Ben must have purchased a new one because Madison is now the proud owner of an Ipod.  After we downloaded the Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack, she is now "singing" at the top of her lungs.   Because she has the earphones in, she doesn't realize how loud she is "singing."  I say it that way because she doesn't have the words down yet so it is more humming/mumbling/yelling mixed into one sound.  It is cute and I am trying to keep a straight face.  

So after a tutorial from Ben and Madison, I have figured out how to purchase songs from Itunes and get them to her Ipod.  Again, I have a college degree yet my main instructor this evening was 5 1/2.  I think that buying songs will be a reward system.   I will need to keep an eye on my laptop as I am sure from watching me tonight she could buy all of the songs she wanted and I wouldn't know until the bill came in the mail.  

On a lighter note, Reagan was checking out the pool of ladies last night.  I had the Miss USA pageant on and he kept watching it.   I tell myself it was the music and not the older girls in swimsuits that caught his attention.  

"No no" is in bed for the night and has been since 8:00.  He decided at 6:3o this morning that he had enough sleep and didn't feel the need to take any lengthy naps.  So after being cranky through dinner with grandma and grandpa, telling all of us no many times and not eating much, he went to bed early.

Now to get Madison to bed without the Ipod...  The main goal for the night is for me to go to bed without the Alvin and the Chipmunks song circling my brain- Christmas, christmas time is here, time for joy and time for cheer....hurry Christmas hurry fast...me I want a hula hoop...we can hardly stand the wait, please Christmas don't be late.  I hope it's now going in circles around your brain too!!!! (Yes I am the silly one who bought the songs in the first place, but what we won't do for our kids.)  

And Christmas, please take your time this year.  The snow is almost gone for the umpteenth time this year and I am looking forward to some sunshine!
