At age 2, Kate has a toy cell phone, blackberry, camera and laptop. She knows that Mommy and Daddy check their email and she loves to Skype. When she was 9 months old we took an old iPod of Kurt's and reloaded it with all her toddler tunes. These days she prefers to listen to Gaga on my iPhone. Kurt even signed her up for her own Gmail account when we got her Southwest and United frequent flyer programs started. We laugh when we think about how she has never known a television that was not a flat screen. Yesterday Kate and I were playing with Luke, trying to get him to smile and laugh. She wanted to take our picture, but her toy camera was downstairs. I suggested she go get the camera, just to keep the game going and give her a little two minute activity. But instead she turned to me and said, "It's okay. I'll just use my phone." She picks up her toy blackberry (an old one of Kurt's) and pretends to take our picture. Oh technology! What will be normal by the time Kate is my age?
Before Kate got her toy laptop for her 2nd birthday she would play with Kurt's old calculator and call it her computer. Here is a shot of her "working" at Mommy's desk in the kitchen on her phone and her computer- October 21, 2009.
