Photo of the Day: Day 5

Caleb has recently discovered that computers can be fun (read, absorbing) for kids too. He has his few sites that he loves to distraction and begs daily for computer time. Apart from the incessant and generally mind-numbing music, I find most of the games he plays to be more than just time-wasters. He doesn't play as often as he would like, but his computer skills have improved dramatically in just a few short months and there are games he is already bored with. I suppose the purchase of his own computer isn't that far in the future, but for now his nickjr and playhouse disney time is limited to a few hours each week and that is sufficient to satisfy his current needs.

My kids gained computer skills long before I did. I only learned to use email two years ago. It took breaking my leg to get me into cyber world where I now live half of my life. It has opened a whole new world for me.

If you haven't yet, try starfall.com - it is a site for helping kids learn to love reading. we love it! pbskids.org also has great stuff that is kind of educational as well as fun.
