T has always liked sorting through the CD’s that we have in the play room. MC likes having a CD player. She says it is easier for our baby sitter to use it vs our bluetooth speakers. She also likes it. I try to explain to her that our baby sitter with an Android phone who uses Pandora to listen to kids music is perfectly fine without a CD player. That is another story altogether. Since we have a CD player we have a ton of CD’s to go with it. Most of them are from my sister but we did buy a few kids music CD’s. Yes I know I am admitting that within the past 2 years I am one of the 5 people out there still buying CD’s. In my defense the first thing I do when we get one is to rip it so we can play it on iTunes.
T likes to sort through the CD’s. Until a few weeks ago these sorting sessions were few and far between. More recently she likes to take an entire pile of them and play with them on her table. We are rebels and don’t use jewel cases. Over the past few days she has been generally more physical with the CD’s. MC finally got concerned that T will damage some of the disks so told her she can’t play with them anymore. That didn’t go over well at all. This morning after she was told she can’t have the CD’s Teagan kept asking for them. My solution was to goto my storage and pull out some old CD’s and DVD’s I had. I found a bunch of old mostly Microsoft OS install disks. I have the ISO’s for everything and I don’t really intend on using any of these OS”s again anyway. If i did it would be in a Virtual Machine that i can use the ISO’s for anyway. Teagan was very happy with the new disks she can do whatever she wants with and the case for them. Now instead of messing up Music for Aardvarks she can beat up on Microsoft Windows 2003 Small Biz Server, or Windows Vista. She sat for about 30 minutes this morning at the dinning room table playing with them. She figured out that sitting up there is a safe place to get away from Amelia trying to get at the disks. Teagan’s most popular phrase recently is “No Amelia” when Amelia tries to take whatever it is Teagan is doing.
If anyone is thinking it, no I am not trying to start her early into Technology. If I was it wouldn’t be with Windows disks!
