Default Re: The things you do for your kids...

I have a nephew who is nearly 3. In the afternoon he comes up to me and says

"Want to see bob/thomas on the puter"

I lift him up on my lap and go to the bob/thomas website. Then he grabs the headphones off my head.

"need them"

Then he watches as I do all the games and puzzles before crying out "cool" when I colour things.

later he walks through the house saying

"Randall!. Please take me out to see the chickens" which means I have to go out the back and watch him play.

Since he clearly hasn't started school yet I, and his cousin who lives interstate, are the closest thing to friends he has. But he's very polite and always says thank you when you do stuff for him, and it helps his parents for me to keep him occupied occasionally, like taking him to the park.

Randallw - check out nickjr.com which has a variety of games for pre-schoolers. My three year-old daughter particularly enjoys the Wow Wow Wubzy (I know) and Diego platformers/side scrollers.

took a look, but what I want to know is why pre-schoolers would have an opinion on the US election?

Not coming up for my banner ad, I get an ad for Diego.

My daughter seems to be interested in politicians who have dropped out of the election because they "look like they need hugs."

It wasn't an ad, it was a poll. As if children have an opinion.

My guess is, either somebody wanted skewed poll results or somebody thought the idea was cute.
