Almost Christmas

It's almost Christmas, and beyond the inordinate amount of snow outside, it doesn't feel anything like it. Booger was upset with me today because I wouldn't let him play with my Nintendo DS, but instead redirected him to his Leapster 2. He's four. Whatever happened to being happy to play with an Etch-A-Sketch or Lite-Brite and marvelling over how they worked? When I got my DS a few years ago I was amazed at the hand held touch screen. Now my four year old has one. I wonder what will amaze them when they are thirty.
