Zeke controls a lot of things around here. Now he also likes to control my computer. This is only made acceptable by adding an old keyboard and a neato program for my MacBook, a computer I love and that I would like to survive my baby's attempts to control everything in his environment.
The program is
AlphaBaby. It's free and lifesaving. He pounds on the keyboard and, in response, he gets letters, shapes, sounds or images from my photo library. You can see the joy he gets out of it! The beauty of it is that he doesn't rename my documents or delete things. However, he still wants to touch the laptop keyboard, I think because it lights up. Or, because he needs to touch everything.
Also in button-pushing news: Zeke's fine motor skills are really developing. In the past week, he has really refined his ability to push buttons with his thumbs. All of a sudden, he can very deliberately activate buttons on a stuffed animal, a busy board, a book with sound effects, Sesame Street pop up character board, and the race track that I just bought him.
