During our recent trip to Southern California we got a good chance to visit with our grandchildren. It is fun to see them growing up and developing their talents. We brought down a scooter that we had purchased at the Home and Garden show several months ago. It is the kind that you propel by turning the steering wheel back and forth slightly. It worked great on Jessica & Jon's bamboo floor. I was amazed at how quickly the kids picked up the technique of using the steering wheel for both propulsion and steering.
Even little Jillian managed to learn how to handle the scooter. She would use her feet when absolutely necessary. It was also gratifying to see that the boys let her have a turn.
Michael and I enjoyed taking pictures of each other taking pictures of each other. Digital cameras are really wonderful for kids since you can let them take as many pictures as they want without it costing a penny unless you print them out. And it could be a great way to introduce them to graphic arts programs. I think as much as anything Michael liked the instant gratification of seeing the picture he took.
