Email versus snail mail, Day 277

Nicolai wanted to type an email to his friends Jason and Spencer today. The only problem is that he doesn't know how to spell, and they don't have email addresses...but that didn't seem to stop him. I don't usually let him play on my computer, but today I made an exception. I really want him to learn how to write the old fashioned way before he is addicted to a computer screen. I plan to do some research on how the brain works differently when writing with a computer versus a pen and paper. The two processes are very different to me and I really want to know if there is any scientific evidence that supports this....to be continued.

Thanks, Day 203

I asked Nicolai what he is thankful for today and he replied: "I am thankful for hugs and kisses." I was pleasantly surprised by his answer.
