Being Anal

I am an advocate that babies and technology do not go together. I turn my little nose up at gadgets like smart phones, iPads, and those "techy" toys from big toy brands that parents give to their kids to keep them quiet. I say - Kids under 3 need face time! They need to hear your voice! See your expressions! Those techy stuff hurts their eyes! They need outdoor play! Techy toys encourage obesity! The human interaction is irreplaceable! No techy toys for little dude till later!

Then little girl enters into the picture. Together with endless milk feedings, diaper changes, poop explosions, and sleep deprived nights. From 5 April 2013, I suddenly found myself with:

specimen 'A'

specimen 'B'

Specimen A + B + post delivery wounds that took two weeks to heal = brink of insanity. 

It's true that the darkest hour is before dawn. Just as I was about to raise the white flag, my BFF of 23 years gamely shows up with this:

It's called a "Leaptop". It's a toy version of the laptops we use. It can 'receive' and 'send' emails, and 'write' blog entries! Little dude loves it. It keeps him occupied. And I have time to breathe!

Tech toys are great! Tech toys are awesome! I'm gonna buy more tech toys in future!

Well...... parenting is also about keeping yourself alive and sane for the long run, yeah?
