little miss fix-it

so, i think abby has inherited some sort of weird fix-it gene from somewhere. in the past 3 days, she has fixed a lamp in the living room, and also the computer chair. the lamp, in the course of being modified into a touch-lamp, has had many issues and 99% of the time will not turn on. however, she did something to it that fixed it. a couple of months ago, the computer chair decided that it wanted to tilt back very very far when someone sat in it so that the person would be convinced that the whole thing would just fall right over. but, she was sitting in it this morning watching the itunes visualizer and did something to one of the levers and now it's fixed. weird stuff, i'm telling you. and of course, now i'm thinking of everything else around here that's broken and wondering how to get her to work her magic.

yesterday we went to the children's museum because it's free the first sunday of the month. it was okay...VERY crowded, as you might expect. she thought it was pretty fun, but we had a few meltdowns when other kids got too close or tried to interact with her. she also had trouble taking turns, but that's completely understandable since she never has to take turns with anything...i think we're going to start working on that.
