New Rules for Lauren

First, it is so nice that I am not running around like crazy. Summer school is over and I can relax in the morning. OK, Lauren got a CD player for her birthday. Nothing special. I gave her some CD's that Jim's sister had for her to have and listen too. The one is Christina Aguilera's first album. Lauren has decided that she loves the song Genie in a Bottle. It really is kind of funny. I showed her how to repeat the song or go back. So she has been playing it over and over and over. The funny part is she sings along with the music. My poor baby is a little tone deaf. Of course because of the ear phones you only hear her singing and she doesn't sing all the words, just some. The new rule for this toy is that I shouldn't be able to hear the music. At times she has it blaring.

The other big new rule is regarding computer time. One of the other toys she got was a Webkinz horse. If you don't know what these are, they are stuffed animals that you go on line and create a world for. Kind of like a neopet. You can earn money to buy stuff for their room and food for your pet. Kind of cool. The problem is she wants to be on all the time. On Saturday she got very mad when I said she was done for the day after 3 hours. She ended up being sent to her room for attitude problems. I guess she really isn't a little girl anymore.
