Owen, our computer genius

Okay, that's probably an exaggeration, but he still surprises me daily. He's been typing on the computer for months now and figured out how to open Word and change the font size without us telling him how -- I think he just watched us!

He is also very skilled in browsing the internet. He likes to look up Thomas toys on Amazon. He knows how to click on the item to get a bigger version and he knows how to click the back button and go back to the lists of toys. He'll spend quite some time on the site looking at pages and pages of toys. Some of his other favorite sites are homedepot.com to look up tools, and accuweather.com to look at the radar.

Then the other day he was in the car playing with the Hot Wheels "laptop" that his cousin Adam gave him.

Laptop: Player one, type your name and press the enter key.

Owen: Starts pressing keys

Laptop: O. W. E. N.

I was impressed that he followed directions, but he's known how to spell his name for a long time.

Laptop: Player two, type your name and press the enter key.

I'm thinking that he's just going to type his name again.

Owen: Starts pressing keys

Laptop: M. O. M.
