Josh, Lindsay, and Mackenzie

So, this weekend we learned two new things from our daughter.

1. She isn't a slouch when it comes to technology. She is now just under 3 months shy of her 2nd birthday and she can completely run the iPad. She now knows how to take the iPad from one of us, open the cover, set it down, press the home button, slide the open slider on the screen and then flip the pages to the one that has her programs on it. She then chooses the one she wants to play. She's not great at all of the programs just yet because only about half of them are visual only, but I really don't think that some of them are too far off. Oh, and she also knows where the videos are, how to pick her spongebob episodes, as well as how to turn up the volume. This has now led Lindsay and I to giving her the iPad completely. We are going to remove all of the programs that we run and leave only Mack programs.

2. She understands where the dog goes when she uses the dog door. Just this afternoon Lindsay slipped out to talk to me (I was working in the yard) and not but 2 minutes later Mackenzie was in the backyard with us. Lindsay turned around just in time to see her pulling her second leg out of the opening. What this means to us is that we used to be able to let her run around the house and be confident that she was somewhere inside the house and this fact is now no longer true.

Fun times at the Raker household.
