Grex Parenting Item 46: Little Helpers at the Keyboard...
Entered by bnm on Fri May 27 00:43:36 UTC 1994:

Alright, who here besides me attempts to use a keyboard with a 
wriggling child on your lap?  (The child in question is also
eating corn chips.  Yeesh!)

6 responses total.

I too have a (non-sleepy) 5 month old on my lap, attempting to type as well.
I certainly becomes a challenge, and yet, is pretty interesting sometimes!

You mean you haven't noticed all my replies peppered with heel-marks from 
little kicking feet?  -NO! you can't have the mouse, Gareth! No, no, no pushig
buttons, that's mama's.  Timothy, you'll have your turn when I'm done.  YOu
think of a story for me to type... (and so on.)

Yes, the mouse holds particular fascination for the rug rats.  Button
pushing is a favorite passtime.  Also, if our TV ever starts acting
erratically, we can generally find our 2 year-old with the remote in
hand madly clicking away.  I guess worst of all, our daughter has found
both the reset switch and the power switch on the computer.

aaaargh!  not the reset switch!  I did have a bit of a time keeping Gareht
out from under the table, a while back, where that BRIGHT, RED power switch
looked awfully attractive...

This is certainly insight into what I have to look forward to!  Right now
Kaitlyn just likes to hits the keys...and I have to keep hitting the correct
key!  She hasn't discovered the mouse...yet!  But she does prefer to watch
words on the screen over games. (I hope it stays that way personally)
