WildChild has been wanting his own laptop. He's been pointing to Mike's and saying "Pa's 'puter." Then he points at mine and says "Ma's 'puter." Then he shakes his head sadly and says "WildChild no 'puter." Now we're planning to get him a Leap Frog thing (or something similar) for Christmas, but that's a long time for a little guy to wait.
So we found him this cheesy little toy laptop the other day....doesn't really do anything but play different sounds & music and lights flash.
He loved it, to put it mildly. Mike said last night while I was at work, WildChild was sitting at his desk, "typing" away on his laptop while watching cartoons and muttering to himself.
Prolly fisking Mickey Mouse.

Leap Pads are cool! Don't wait. Get one now. Amanda could spot all 50 states by the time she was 3. Her sister, on the other hand, well now I know why Lileks calls his "Gnat". That's about how long her attention span is.

Leap Pad, yeah that's the name. It's on the Christmas list. We figured he'd destroy the first one, so we got the cheap one first.
He's inherited his dad's ADHD we suspect....child could tear up an anvil.
