Starfall

Playing on the computer is one of Hannah's favorite things to do these days. A friend of mine who home schools her four children told me about Starfall, a website that allows children to learn their letters, sounds, form words, and learn to read. Hannah only uses the "ABC" section right now. Jonathan and I are amazed as we watch her move through the program on her own, clicking the mouse and following instructions all by herself. She really has the hang of it.

Hannah earns computer time by completing a row on her "NO accidents" potty chart-- something we had to resort to recently when she completely reverted to infancy (peeing and pooping in her panties because she quote "wanted to"). We were told by my OB and pediatrician that this would happen when the baby came home, and low and behold . . . it did. However, we have had several weeks with no accidents and she has told me twice today when she had to go--hip hip hooray!!! It seems earning computer time is just the right motivator. Who would have thought a 2 1/2 year old would be using the computer? My how times have changed. If you have a tot, check out "Starfall."
