The wonder of it all.....

I have been taking care of my 4 year old grandson for a few weeks while his father is away at training for work. I am amazed at the cartoons he watches (can't really figure them out) and how he is so techy already. He plays Leapster and finishes game after game and is addicted to the Wii. He races Hot Wheels cars and after just racing one time he knows where all the short cuts are, the tricky track and how to manuever around like a pro. He gets mad at me when I can't race right.

I can't remember what I played at age 4 but it must have been like little play cars, crayons, and coloring books. How we have changed in 50 years - yes, you read right - I am 50 years older than this child. When I say that out loud it sounds like a very big number. Hum, I guess it is. He watches a movie in the car on the DVD, plays video games in bed to put himself to sleep, and plays Wii until he drops. But his favorite thing to do is help me read a book at bedtime. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
