Grandpa Robb has come for a visit. Like most grandparents who’ve not seen their grandchildren in a year, he came bearing gifts. In addition to the usual stuffed animals and dresses and sticker books, he also brought the girls an XO PC.

We’ve set the computer up for the girls on the coffee table, where our laptops live, so that we can all use our computers at the same place in the house. The girls, who always want to be just like Mummy, don’t have to pretend anymore. And with a real web browser, Rowan can play her games from the CBC website on her own computer.

Also pretty cute?
