Half pint on the PC.


It is amazing how quickly small children catch on to using the computer! This summer we started teaching Luke how to move and click the mouse, push the arrow keys, and other general web-savvy techniques. Scott set up a home page for him so once Luke launches the internet browser he can click on his favorite sites ... Nick Jr., Disney, and PBS Kids. In the matter of a few months, he has learned to play some pretty skilled games that require better-than-average hand-eye coordination (left hand clicks the space bar, right hand clicks the arrow keys). Here are our favorite Luke-isms related to the computer.
  • The name still needs a little work. To Luke, it's called the "teh-puter."
  • From Luke ... "Mom, I think you need to put some new battwies in this mouse." (wireless mouse)
  • Scott: "Where were you playing that SuperReaders game?" Luke: "Oh, I was just doing that on p-b-s kids ..... dot org."
