That was when I Created a Monster

.

.

We had such high hopes for this past Labor Day Weekend. We went home, we were very excited to visit with family, and then Naomi got sick and instead of going out and playing (movies, bowling, etc) my (well) kids resorted to this-

.

Rae calls this the T bar. It's the old clothes line at my mother in law's.

.

It's not so bad, I know. But not what we expected.

.

Then last night while Naomi was moaning and groaning because her medicine makes her stomach hurt, I kept trying to distract her, but was unsuccessful until......

.

I came up with the brilliant idea of teaching her how to text.

.

She carried on a lengthy conversation with her oldest sister via text messaging.

.

And loved it!

.

As a matter of fact, she just asked me if she could text her Aunt AniC.

.

I said yes.

.

Update: Naomi did text her aunt and when she got a reply, she gasped in excitement.
