More so now with three kids than I did with just one but my girls still read books, they still go out and play on their slide and in their cubby house and on their trampoline. They still get muddy and collect what they think are tadpoles. They still ride their bikes. BUT I do think they have an awful lot more stuff than I ever did. On a whole though I think we're pretty balanced here. :DTanyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-63522500520309419332011-07-27T17:18:43.100+08:002011-07-27T17:18:43.100+08:00I use Dora and Diego...

She rocks up, says "I show you", and proceeds to, well, show me. She navigates to abc for kids and amuses herself for ages. Then I get to do things like eat lunch in peace, cook dinner, or, heaven forbid, use the toilet without an audience.

Which meant sending them off in their oldest clothes to the creek where they'd sled down the slope into the mud and water on a piece of old cardboard for hours while I did what I wanted at home. Ahh, those were the days. Picnics in the backyard, "painting" the fence with huge brushes and buckets of water......of course that was summertime. Winter days were a little different. But there were four of them, plus friends so they occupied themselves a lot.riverhttp://river-driftingthroughlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-88364818760267791472011-07-26T14:37:58.855+08:002011-07-26T14:37:58.855+08:00I actually haven't done any of that iCheating ...I actually haven't done any of that iCheating yet. does that make me a dinosaur?themotherexperimentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739118490318763551.post-63751248698261113272011-07-26T13:03:55.118+08:002011-07-26T13:03:55.118+08:00Well, with a hubby who is a Mac-ophile, it is impo...Well, with a hubby who is a Mac-ophile, it is impossible not to be an iParent, or rather would take way more discipline to do it old style. I am very conscious of it even though we probably let our toddler play with the iPad and our old iPhone (full of kiddie apps and videos) more than we should. Hubby's attitude is if she has access now, within reason, she'll probably be blase when she's older and at school where kids want the latest gadgets. Maybe flawed logic?
