In other news, we mentioned the other day that we got G a Leapster Learning System, which is educational software cleverly packaged as video games. We gave it to him a week before our Big Trip so that he would have time to get familiar with it before the 14h10m flight. He loves it, and so do we.
The built-in software is great, and he also has a Cars game. He's learning about spelling words, following directions, coordination (using the controller), the difference between letters and numbers, and how to use a pen/pencil. The graphics are really great, and he uses the volume-controlled, kid-friendly headphones we got him so that we don't have to hear it. BUT, based on his reaction to his new toy and his constant use of it, we know that we have now lost him. From this point on, he has discovered video games and will spend the next 15 years in his own world. Oh well, we knew it would happen someday...
