Being a parent you experience many wonderful firsts. Michelle has been drawing for a while, but this is her first drawing on a computer.

Oh well… oh well .. maybe when she grows up and earns lots and lots she’ll buy you a new one.. so in the mean time maybe you should keep this one..
GOOD WORK Michelle!!
lol, well you are partly to blame (sorry but it’s true), look at the screen it’s so white and tempting.
So when do we get to see Michelle’s first computer painting?
Ha ha, Ian, for a while, I thought she ACTUALLY used a mouse and drew that on your PC thru some kinda Paintbrush software or somethin, but after a while gazing at it, it dawned on me that she actually DREW ON your screen!!
Good that you thought it was cute, and not annoyed with her. She’s so lucky to have a dad like u! So, have you cleaned away the pencil marks…yet? Or still leaving them there for her to admire when she grows up? *wink wink*
God, I really thought she used a mouse…
I was thinking, “Jesus she can use a mouse already?! She must be genius!!” I almost called out friends around my screen to show her work…
Anyway I’m glad you found it funny.
It took a while but I managed to get rid of most of the pencil marks. We blame it on her Auntie Akiko and her Nintendo DS, Michelle probably thought the Thinkpad was an oversized DS.
And yeah, I’m waiting for the day that she can buy me cool toys and gadgets. I’m already docking her future pocket-money
Note to self: When babies come, keep computers well out of reach at all times. It is hilarious when it happens to someone else, but it would make you cry if it happened to you.
