David Knows 'em All

When Katelyn was first born, David was determined to have the smartest baby in the world.  Soon after his multiple failed attempts to keep Katelyn's interest with the alphabet and numbers flash cards he got for her, he checked out every learning game from our public library.  There are games from toddler to 6th grade.  There were a lot!  The library would only allow 5 games out at a time, so he had to take a lot of trips to the library as he timed out the ones that were on hold.  He realized that all these games were old and so he dug out our old giant desktop because they work better with Windows 98 or whatever the old version of windows is.  
He had everything from Dr Seuss, Clifford, Arthur, Reader Rabbit, Carmen San Diego, . . . you name it!  He had to "test" each game to see if it was any good and worth Katelyn's time.  He admitted that he was really excited to play Oregon Trail again but the rest he said he just had to try out. . . even though he got to the 6th level in the Dr. Seuss game :)  I told him he can't start Katelyn on the computer games yet.  He wasn't too bummed, but once she has a little more coordination, he will be begging me to let her start.  He now know which games are best and which ones he approves of :)
David has also been putting together Katelyn's Cookies. . . a business that she will run someday.  He's just a tad excited for her future. . . it's cute.
