For the past year or so, Mary Grace and I have been reading Nancy Drew mysteries. She really enjoys reading them at bedtime, but like me, she gets confused with all the characters. So unlike me, she came up with a solution - take notes. So while we're reading each book together, she's got her pen and pad of paper and she's making an entry for each new character and writing notes about the characters too.
But the more interesting part of this post is when I got home from work last week, Anne met me at the door to deliver some bad news. My lovely and fairly new Nexus 7 tablet has been accidentally dropped, resulting in the screen cracking and no longer taking touch input. And who broke it? The little girl up in her room, crying for the last hour or so...
She had been taking videos of her dolls, and needed to get to one of her upper shelves in her situation bookcase, so she climbed on a chair with the tablet, lost her balance and dropped the tablet, regained balance then got the tablet, then uh oh.
So I went up to her room and told her it was OK and that I was happy that she didn't get hurt herself after she described to me what happened. A good learning experience for all involved. No more using my tablet for recording doll videos, no more taking chances with Daddy's tablet.
And now I get to order a replacement screen from China and try to get the old one out and put the new one in.
