Green Puter! 2 months later! that is so cool. My niece was playing computer games at like 3 and 4 and she read early and is now 8 and reading at like 2 grade levels ahead. We used to go to restaurants when she was like 5-6 and she could read the menu. I have no idea where the fine line is, though, with being a screenhead or being behind the other kids. I guess we will both be figuring that out soon. I love it! Green Puter! 2 months later! that is so cool.

He used to love coming in and playing fischer price shapes and colors on my computer when I'd let him. So we took an old computer and monitor and set it up in the office, and bought him some preschool software. He loves playing with it and knows how to type his name and is learning how to follow directions, solve mazes, and even read a bit. Every time I watch him play, I realize how much he's picked up and figured out since the last time. Unfortunately, he still refuses to try to write his name or his ABC's with pencil/crayon and paper. I have the feeling that he's going to have terrible penmanship, but be a computer whiz...just like his dad. *sigh* Luckily, he still loves running and playing outside, so it's not to hard to find a happy balance.

Hell, we are bloggers :) Why shouldn't our kids be ahead of the techno curve? I hope my kids teaching me about virtual reality someday.
