If you can press it, she will come...

Franny is currently fascinated by anything that even remotely resembles a switch or button. She loves turning off and on all the lights in the house; absolutely nothing beats the garage door opener; she's turned the dishwasher off a number of times, as well. Not being able to get to the microwave is driving her nuts--I can't even hold her within an arm's length proximity to the microwave, because she strains so hard to get to it. And, of course, remotes and phones-both cells and the land line--are always fun. Its really very amusing, because she is always so pleased with herself when she realizes that she is causing a reaction of some kind. Frequently, those reactions, like the lights going on or off, sends her into fits of giggles, which I never grow tired of!

My favorite: she has figured out how to open the CD drive on my PC. The first time it popped out on her she jumped probably a foot backwards! Now, she opens it, then closes it, then opens it... It holds her attention long enough to give a quick check to my email--that is, until she catches a glimpse of the keyboard. Then, its all over, and we have to proceed to the downstairs to play.
