When my daughter wakes up, I usually hear her whimpering a bit when she comes into the computer room to find me. She's not really awake, and crawls up on me and goes back to sleep. I love that. :thumbsup:
She's crashed in my lap right now.

What I hate is, lately she has been simply walking up to me without a sound. The house is dark, nothing on in here but my monitor, and with 2 computers/fans etc, running, I can't hear her coming, but usually she'll bump into something and alert me.

She just came in a second ago, and I didn't notice until she grabbed my arm. Scared the crap out of me.

Anyone else have kids that do stuff like this?
Edit: here she is, out like a light in my lap:


Daddy's girl
Daddy's girl 2

That first pic is very cute, and I'm going to Hell for saying this, but that 2nd pic without the right context is a little questionable.

That keyboard is "only" 7 years old, and does not have keys that click.
