IM-ing with dad
Every once in a while, Nola IMs with her dad - sometimes when he's at work, but sometimes she sits on the couch with the laptop, and he's just 7 feet away at the desk. It used to be pretty basic (he'd write "cat" and she would IM back "dog"), but now they're doing full sentences. Here's an example from last night:
Tony: Hello
Nola: cat
Tony: The dog is barking at the car
Nola: mom and dad and nola
Tony: Nola goes to school and eats lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
Nola: zeki (a kid in her class)
Tony: Can you wiggle your nose?
Nola: I am going to the zoo
Tony: Someday, Nola will be taller than her mom (she thought that was pretty funny, but it's true)
Nola: nola's going on the subway
Tony: Carolyn came over to play with Nola today. They had lots of fun.
Nola: Nola and Kim (one of her babysitters) are having lots of fun
Not quite a "conversation" but still, not too bad for a 3-year-old - she can read and type all that with very little help (like I had to show her where the apostrophe was on the keyboard).
Also, you might notice that I have a new camera - I am super duper thrilled and will be posting lots of new photos soon. Yay!
