I love technology!!!! As much as I sometimes wish I were a pretty pretty princess in a castle sharpening my sword to go slay dragons, I would still need my ipod, a computer with internet capabilities and Skype! (Also really good indoor plumbing and running hot water for a good shower). One of the reasons technology is so important to me (besides the fact I love toys) is that my three nephews all live way too far away from me, but with email, texting, facebook, and skype I keep in almost daily touch with them, which makes it much easier. For instance over Thanksgiving I actually got to play tag with my almost 3 year old nephew lil G using an ipad and computer, he would start at one end of the room run up to the ipad and touch the camera yelling TAG, I would then take of and run back and forth and touch the camera and "tag" him, we had a great time. I also got some quality face time with my other two cuties the almost 2 Baby R and the recently turned 4 K-man. Baby R entertained us with songs and some great drawings of "O's". K-man used his time with us to draw us a picture of The Lorax by Dr. Suess. This was pretty cool on many levels, the first being I am so stoked at how much all my nephews LOVE books, I love reading to them, they love being read to, they love to look at books by them selves, it's pretty awesome.

The Lorax is even more special because it is one of my Hubbins favorite books, so to see his little nephew enjoying it is very cool.
Anyways this is one more reason we should embrace some of this technology, as much as I love a good old fashioned book, I'm glad that there are ways available for me to share these stories with my nephews across the country.
How do you use technology to encourage the next generation to read? What modern conveniences are a must have if you ever get taken away to a magical kingdom? Do you adore my nephews as much as I do?
