Raising your children on the internet

My little girl is online. She's not tweeting, nor texting, nor facebooking or anything like that. But I taught her how to use a mouse a few months ago, and now she's a real pro at it. 2 1/2, and she's using a mouse...who hoo!!!

She's got a handful of websites that she likes, and after playing only a few weeks is now a pro at navigating, closing screens, opening new ones, and somehow, she now knows how to add.

That blew my mind...my little girl seems to have figured out addition, and now subtraction. I would be beaming with self pride, but the only problem is that I didn't teach her that.

I taught her numbers, but the internet taught her to add them together. I swear, here's the link to the game that she learned with. I guess I have to share some credit with the internet this time.

Gotta share credit with Grandma for sending the website also
