Robert (no CF nickname as yet

) gets about 10 minutes on the cbeebies website, usually before bed, and occasionally another few minutes during the day. He is two next week and we're quite proud of the fact that he already understands the concept of hitting the space bar or clicking the mouse to make something happen on the screen, which is relatively abstract compared with most of the toys designed for his age group.
We have no intention of allowing him to while away his life in front of a monitor as he gets older, so I'm very glad that our new house will force us to keep the computer in the lounge, where we can see it, and is in the countryside, where hopefully there will be an endless supply of safe, exciting, outdoor things to do.
