Leapster

Granny gave Cameron a Leapster game for his birthday. I was a little unsure about how early to introduce computer-type games but they did it at school and Cameron loves them so this seemed like a natural gift for his birthday. He loves it! Jamie is very interested in it too. Today I bought the headphones so he can play quietly on his own. In the grand scheme of things I think this is quite an educational choice. He's playing games that help him recognise letters and numbers and will move onto the other games he got as gifts later. It is amazing how quickly he has picked up how to use it. Here is a photo of Cameron and Jamie together this morning. Cameron is explaining to Jamie how to move the dragon across the screen.
Cameron is looking very smart in his new tshirt from Auntie Jane in Spain. Jamie is "king of the jungle" an old favourite from Granny.

If anyone has used the new Tag book system I'd love to know what they think? It looks great to me and I'm thinking about it for both boys.

I think that Angel and Little Man will get Leapsters for Christmas... you think it's too young? (MIL...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAMERON!!

Lauren got the Leapster when she was 4 and still uses it all the time. She loves it!! And it is great because it grows with them. I've never heard of the tag book system.

My son has outgrown his leapster (sniff) but is was sure fun for him while it lasted. We would buy new cartridges right before a road trip and that kept him entertained for hours.
