He's an Artist. He's a Techie

Leo is becoming quite the artist.

Here’s one of his favorite things to draw, and one of his favorite things in general.

Yes, it’s a horse, or as Leo refers to it, a “whore.” It’s true, he’s a little embarrassing to take to a farm when, upon seeing the horse he exclaims, “Whore! Whore!” at the top of his little lungs. We just keep walking.

We weren’t sure what this was. It was drawn on the back of the horse drawing. Erin suggested perhaps it’s a tick that was on the horse? An homage to the New York City bedbug epidemic of 2010?

In other news, we woke up with a start yesterday morning. Erin uses her iPhone as her alarm clock and Leo is an expert with that thing. He’s also mastered the art of silently sneaking off with it. He is an iPhone ninja. That's why, at 6:12 a.m. “I’m a Little Teapot” began blaring from YouTube. Let’s just say Erin and I were both definitely awake.

I know there’s been plenty of talk about using technology, specifically iPads for kids with speech and other delays and communication issues, but I have to say, it’s just incredible how quickly Leo (and other kids too, I know he’s no special case) figure out how to use these devices. Within minutes, Leo figured out how to scroll through pictures and (as explained earlier) access “saved” YouTube videos. Incredible.

Then there was the time that Leo set a security pass code on our cable, rendering it, gasp, temporarily inoperable. But we won’t talk about that.
