I haven't let him do much on my computer, but after seeing how much other kids his age already know, I figured we better get him started learning about technology.
It has absolutely amazed me at how natural the whole learning process has been for Biscuit. It seems like this generation of kids is born with some computer knowledge already in their little heads.
For some of the games and programs, I've walked him through once, then he just gets it after that.
The cool thing is that the games are educational. To get through levels on the games, you have to do simple math or sound out words or draw letters, numbers or shapes.
In one of the games, a town has been damaged, and Biscuit has to help put the town back together. It goes one building at a time, and Biscuit has to do tasks like draw an arc to restore the fountain. Then he has to figure out which two colors go together to make green to color the fountain.
Since Biscuit only recently decided that he's right-handed, the games where he has to draw have been really beneficial for him. He's gaining more control over that hand.
Here's Biscuit playing one of his games:
