Hello Grandpa

I'm watching the kids while my wife takes a much needed break in Cabo with her girlfriend.  No better way to gain appreciation for the real work that is motherhood.  While I have a sliver of sanity left in me, thought I would share a little story.

The kids and I huddled around the Powerbook to talk with her on Skype yesterday.  This morning, my 2 year old got on my lap while I was trying to work.  He leaned into the laptop and started to try to talk with grandpa.  How fantastic that his expectation is the computer is a door, not a box.  Not just a door for one person, but for anyone he knows to be present when he demands.  He may be conditioned otherwise in the coming years, fit in the boxes of other's designs, but there is something to be said for listening to formative social desires.
