>>I came home from work tonight to find my two-year-old son, Andrew, fast asleep at my computer. In his right hand was the mouse and his head was resting lightly on the keyboard. I spend so much time tinkering on my machine, banging out new ideas, that I often sat Andrew on my lap as a small baby to spend quality time with him while navigating the computer with one arm.

>>Andrew, eager to be like Daddy, now wants to spend all his time on the computer. He has figured out how to turn the computer on and off (without using the start button, unfortunately) and can manipulate files with the mouse and keyboard. I've had to lock the workstation to keep him from inadvertantly destroying my profile!

>>Although it fills me with pride to see my son sitting at the computer with a kind of intensity that only a programmer would have, I don't know if I should be concerned or not. Afterall, I look at the geek I've become, and I wonder if that's really what I want for my son. One thing is for sure, by the time he is old enough to read, he will be fluent on the computer.

That's hysterical! If you've ever owned a cat, you what its like to have her jump all over your keyboard. But I don't think I want to deter Andrew from using the computer, I just want to protecct him from damaging anything.
