See? The fact that she would even know to go to Amazon to find Apps…creepy. =)

Consider this: the iPod Touch ships with little to no documentation – you’re just expected to ‘get it,’ and there’s a whole world of additional apps to add to the thing that do even more stuff. Some people who shall remain nameless have a hard with this … but not my daughter who readily goes to Amazon.com and searches for stuff she’s interested in on the Touch!

Oh my God…you have now given me something else to obsess over. Your theory makes sense. I’ll be sleeping with one eye open, for sure. =)

I remember when Bryan did that. So funny! Wouldn’t put it past Avery either…although she’s more apt to sign up for beanie babies than anything fasihon-related. =)

Oh, I defintely think that learning to use the computer can be very positive! She really enjoys it and I know that she is learning things. My hubby (super-techie) is working on the filter situation. He works for an internet security company so we should be golden there. I just didn’t anticipate the need coming up this fast! =)
PS – After discovering that Digital Dollhouse isn’t a “naughty” house, I started designing all kinds of rooms. It’s really fun!

Yes, we are working on pushing the “trust” thing. Avery now knows, after a long talk, how important it is to follow the rules. I believe in setting an example no matter how young she is.

I have no problem being all up in my kid’s “jello”! =) They are going to HATE me when they’re teenagers! =)

I think it is a great conspiracy designed by kids and one day they will implant us with micro chips and control all adults. Sleep tight.

I remember one time when Bryan was in kindergarten I was buying some stuff online from the Gap. I left the computer and when I came back I noticed he had went into the kids section and added a couple of new hats, a belt, and a coat to my cart. They’re pretty smart!

It is scary, but I think it’s neat too. I love technology, it’s amazing! If you get a good filter, you should be okay. My pastor recommends one, I can find out the name if you like.

I can’t say I blame her, Dollhouse sounds fun (well and kinda kinky – HA).
