Techno kids

It amazes me how different things are for the kids versus 30+ years ago when we were kids. The amount of technology available and useful to them at such young ages is astounding. I remember using a computer for the first time to write a paper in high school. And in college, people were just starting to get their own desktops in the dorms. And now look at it - 5 year olds are working on laptops! At school, the kids have a fun educational computer program they work with for reading and can do it at home as well. 

Here they are playing / working on their reading program.

And we dug up an old Kindle and put some kid chapter books on it for them to read. Emily LOVES it - especially so because we put a fairy book on there specifically for her. We've geared it more to her since Kyle seems to take over many of the techno toys. But she is nice and let's Kyle use it too so they read together on it.
