Setting the Rules

Andrew recently learned that he could use the computer pretty much all by himself. He slides that little mouse around and clicks on anything that lights up or makes a noise when you cross it. I'll admit that it's been a refreshing break from always wanting to watch T.V. and it has been educational too. I look forward it being a good resource for teaching. But...

We finally had to set some rules. Andrew has delighted himself in coming up here without asking or slyly getting up from a supposed nap and plopping his little cheeks down on the office chair. Then he gets into stuff on the computer desk or surfd his little 3 year old way through the web. The other day I found that he had ended up on the part of the Disney website where you can purchase merchandise. I hope we don't get a package full of "Cars" when we return from our trip. Another time, Eric came up to find his wallet had been emptied of everthing. Credit cards were strewn about the desk. I know what you're saying, "He probably used them to buy stuff of the Disney website." He's smart, but hopfully not that smart!

The final rule is no sitting at the desk or playing on the computer without asking mom or dad. We'll see how obedient he will be.
