Hi Kathy....
Nana showed me the little clock and the mouse thing. I loved watching it. I'm pretty interested in the computer. Mommy says it's because of the bright colors, but really I'm studying it so I can work it when I get bigger. I have learned to grab the telephone and press the off button though!! Nana says I'm "flickin'" people off already. gggg
Have a Happy and Hugs from Texas to you....
