I thought I’d update the board with the ever-increasing number of mischievous tricks that Graem has been up to:

Paging Mama
Graem has found the “Page” button on the base of the cordless phone. She walks up to the side table with the base, looks at Shawna with a mischievous grin, and pushes the button repeatedly to make the handset beep incessantly. She watches as Shawna turns off the handset, and then repeats the whole process.

Graem is Wired
Graem loves the cell phones, and has for some time. Only now she knows how to push the buttons to speed dial our friends and family, and also found the button to get online, which bills us some $900 per minute or something like that. She similarly loves the cordless phone, dialing random numbers until the recording states, “The number you have dialed is not in order. Please check your number and dial again.” It’s a good thing we don’t have long distance on our landline.

The Pet Door
Graem has started throwing her toys through the pet door into the basement. I’m sure our cell phones will end up down there too.

My Beautiful Laundrette
Graem “helps” with the laundry–she repeatedly unfolds recently folded garments to address our lack of quality control. She has an unusual penchant for picking out the unmentionables and strewing them on the kitchen floor.

Last But Not Least…
Just before I got the new version of the webpage up and running, Graem managed to hit a keystroke that effectively took down the webpage.
