Here's Luke, to make you smile

In light of tomorrow being the two-year anniversary of when we met Clara (yay!), I was going to write a rather serious post about adoption and God turning tragedy into good (I read something that sparked some strong emotions in me). But, instead, I'm going to go in the opposite direction with something a little more lighthearted.

So..... here's Luke, hard at work on his laptop, discovering a lesson we all learn sooner or later - that computers can be frustrating. Either that, or he's filing his taxes and not getting the return he had hoped for. Or, he discovered his mother's blog and isn't happy about some personal information she shared about him.

If it's not the latter, it will be one day.

(And if you saw this on facebook, this is the extended version. Much more typing. And some more frustration :))

And pay close attention to his typing. It's as if he's fresh off a high school business class circa 1985, and is ready to take the secretarial world by storm. I think he gets it from me. I always had a pretty high wpm.

  3. Oh my goodness. That was priceless. I loved how he kept putting both arms up in the air as if to say "what the heck?!"

  5. I was choking on my drink. He's so cute the way he types so seriously, and then throws up his hands like he can't figure out why its' not doing what he thinks it should. It reminded me ridiculously of my husband at the computer.

  6. I'm glad you all like it!! I think that's what gets me too.. that he is so adult-like! The way he looks at the screen as he's typing, too. And it's not like he's imitating us, because we don't even have a laptop! He's sees me on my phone, but that's it. Unless he was quietly taking it all in when I have nursed him while blogging on our desktop. Hmmm...

    And it is on youtube.. the video on this post is embedded from it :)

  9. I feel his frustration... when I'm trying to measure follicles at work and the machine gives me a hard time, I am constantly putting both arms up in the air, and then lifting the ultrasound machine to push the screen into my face in sheer annoyance.
    It disturbs some of my patients... but that's their problem.

    ;)

    This is SO cute.

  10. So cute! My husband, Ryan, thought this was especially funny (he is a computer nerd). He then commented, "That computer designed for a one year old probably has more cpu than what they used to get to the moon."

    So there you go. :)
