Don't they grow up quickly?

Got a bit of a shock this morning when I was quickly checking emails and so on with a laptop.

My daughter, who is only newly five, came up to me while I was on the BBC homepage and asked me to click on the cbeebies icon. I didn't think much of it as I thought she's just recognised the logo from watching on television.

But no - she took control, navigated to the site, started clicking on various icons, getting directly through to the games section, started one off and began playing!

I was fairly stunned - I had thought her knowledge extended to turning on the computer and writing her name with the keyboard, which was all I had done with her.

Clearly reception classes at the local school go a bit further in their tuition than in my day!
