Crazy Mommy

My daughter is highly entertaining; Even when she’s supposed to be sleeping! Upstairs in her bedroom I don’t have cable so I am just always watching movies or whatever TV seasons I have on DVD. I’m currently watching Friends for the fifth time through and my daughter has come to know and love the theme song in these ten months. She could be sound asleep - where I can lift up her arm and it drops - the theme song for Friends will begin to play and she wakes up, sits up, looks over at the TV and bounces back and forth - dancing. I try and remember to mute now when the theme begins but sometimes I forget.

The other day I was typing on the laptop which sits on our coffee table and my daughter came up and stood right between both of my arms while I typed. I looked over at my husband to talk to him about something and when I looked back the “shift” key was missing. Both of us couldn’t believe it and just sat with our jaws open. I had to pry it out of her fingers then tried to put it back onto the keyboard but it was broken. I let it rest in the spot where it should be, hoping it would still work; it wobbled back and forth each time I used it. Then when I went up to shower my husband said he looked down and the “shift” key was missing and when he looked over at our daughter there she was flinging it around with a big smile. He said one minute she was there and the next she wasn’t. So we put the key in a drawer and don’t use the button anymore. Luckily keyboards have two shift keys but when you type over 85+ words a minute and you’ve been using the home row keys since Jr. High it can slow you down a bit; getting a little frustrating. It’s okay though, I love every second of being a mom. She’s so great to have around.
