two and four: the digital ages

sailor and sunny have both figured out how to use the computer mouse over the last two weeks. it has revolutionized their little lives. their computer time is limited entirely to an educational site called starfall.com, which teaches letters and sounds. they absolutely love it - i have to really limit their time, or they would be doing "letters on computer" (as sailor calls it) all day!
i'm a bit sad that this has increased their screen time somewhat. but i am excited that they both know all of their letters and the sounds they make! :)

Ana's learned to use it recently too, and she would love to sit there all day. She spends her time at pbskids.org. The Caillou dinosaur bones game is really great. Elmo's "Keyboard-o-Rama" is the game she played before she could use the mouse. Great even for really little ones. I've heard of starfall but haven't tried it; I'll have to check it out.
