His first tablet

For his first birthday, ec received his first electronic tablet, the FisherPrice device seen here.  It is about the same size as my iPad with these 28 alphabet buttons to press and three levels of activities.  The child can't do much, but when he presses a button a voice tells him the letter, what the picture is and may play a little tune.  Lights flash around the outer rim.  Levels 2 and 3 are slightly more advanced.  But you should see ec's face.  "Where's your tablet?"  He runs to get it, then returns with a smile, holding it in his hands.  After all, Mom, Dad, and Grandma all have digital devices they use.  Why shouldn't he?  His sister is becoming adept at using a phone and my iPad; she knows how to scroll, stop a video, and more.  I'm sure ec will be equally comfortable at an early age.
