techie in the making

Today we made a quick trip down to Provo for Dave to shadow a radiologist we have connections to. I went along and visited a childhood friend that I haven't seen in about 17 years. (That makes me feel old somehow...)

Anyway, while at Annie's we were discussing the inherent technological know-how of this new generation we are raising.

I think Ana somehow knew she needed to prove the point.

After we got home, Dave sat down at the computer to check emails and whatnot. Ana came over to him with her red crayon in hand.

"Daddy, will you print a picture of Wonder Red for me to color?"

"What?" Dave said.

{For those of you not down with the PBSkids lingo, Wonder Red is a character on a show.}

Ana continued, "Go to pbskids.org..." [Dave clicked the button, which is easily accessed because it is on our favorites menu] "Now go to Super Why..." [I had to show him which picture "Super Why" was.] " ... Now go to Wonder Red ..." [Again, we had to show him which character that was.] "Now press the print button."

Sure enough, following Ana steps took us right to the printable coloring pages, where she picked out what picture she wanted and the took it off to the table to color.

(Although she did have to keep checking back to find out what color Wonder Red's skin was... and her hair... and her roller skate wheels.)

She must get it from her Dad.

I love that she could give Dave all those steps but needed to keep checking on her colors!! Isn't it amazing what our kids can do? And mine aren't so little!! Incredible!!
