Robot

Hmmm...Could Harry already be a techie?
He has been obsessed with computers for months.
He can spend an hour standing in front of the DVD player.
Phones and remotes are just fascinating.
Okay, so lots of little kids like these things.
But explain this one: Harry has a box of Baby Einstein flashcards.
They are for age 9 months and up, and the front contains big colorful pictures, most of which are items found in the Baby Bach video: chickens, frogs, grapes. On the back the cards coach you to ask questions, and lists how to pronounce the items in different languages. On the front the word is spelled out in large letters in English. We let Harry play with the cards however he wishes. They usually end up al over the front room. Yesterday he decided his favorite card was...THE ROBOT! Not the chicken, not the banana, not the lamb. THE ROBOT! He carried it around all afternoon. Today, you may have expected he would have forgotten about THE ROBOT. Guess what? Not only did he remember it, he could pick it out of the group of 50!
Good thing techno geeks are in fashion!
