The Remote

Sometimes things happen that make me realize just how different Lee's and Clara's personalities are.

Both kids love to watch videos. They ask to watch videos. Clara will often bring me the remote and say "v-o!"

Well, today she learned to turn on the TV using the remote. Lee was thrilled, and at the same time somewhat aghast and indignant. It's not that Lee isn't capable of figuring out the remote (she operates the remote for a CD player all the time), it's that if we told her we aren't going to watch a video, that's it. It just wouldn't occur to her to pick up the remote and work at it again and again until she figured out how to turn on the TV all by herself.
