Daddy’s always on his laptop. Mommy’s always on her laptop. Bean wants to be a part of it too. I didn’t really expect it to work, but it was on sale and if nothing else, when she’s 3 and up, like the package suggests, she could use it to learn her numbers or something.

She loves it. Don’t get me wrong; she still wants to use mine, too, but it actually does work to distract her with her own laptop. Hers is more colorful, louder, and plays her favorite kind of music: the danceable kind.

She fails spectacularly at all the games on it, but that’s not why we bought it anyway. We just wanted something that looked like a laptop so she could have one too, and something that was safe for a child, since our old Dell laptop can apparently hurt little fingers that pry the keys off.

We got exactly what we wanted, and so did Bean.
