Smart grand daughter

In 3 days' time we will travel to Ohio to visit our sweet little pixie great grand daughter and bring her and her mother home with us for a week's visit. She's a precious 2-year old who loves to do whatever the grown-up people are doing! She wants to clean, to do the dishes, to scrub the tables and the floors with a wet cloth, to sweep the porch, fold the laundry; to play the concertina, the harp, the piano. Whatever we're doing, she thinks she should be doing it, as well. No toys for her! She craves to use the smart phone or the laptop computer! What a fascinating age we live in! Children don't see photos on paper, they're all digital! Of course, we think she's exceptionally smart, but I suppose most babies surprise their families with how fast they learn!
Computer age files: We have boxes of old photos from the 1800's to the 21st century, passed down from past generations, all needing to be categorized and labeled. Now we almost never look at them, we have them in digital format and saved on the computer. Now, when I visit my mother in the Health Care Center, I show her recent photos of family, and  all are saved on my Smart phone.
