Alex: The Computer Nerd
I kind of thought it might happen. From when Alex was only 4 months, he would try to grab my phone or the TV remote. Soon, he began sitting with me at the computer and he would lean to try to use the keyboard. When he is on the floor in the living room, he crawls to the throbbing lights on the receiver and DirecTV/TiVO unit. At almost 8 months my son is a computer nerd. As any loving father would do, I got an old keyboard and mouse out of the closet, and added it to his collection of toys. He loves them. In fact, he plays with the mouse and keyboard so much he often gets tangled in the cables. Sure I watch to make sure he doesn’t get it caught around his neck, but he does love rolling around on the floor with the mouse in his mouth. What a stinker. [Click on the photo to see a larger image]
