Still catching up! Back in March, we participated in one of the most fun activities we've done yet. For "Take-Apart Day" everyone brought in old/unused/broken appliances, gadgets, electronics, etc. to take apart. We saw cameras, printers, phones, a blender, a sewing machine, and more. We chose to take our old, obsolete computer, which has been sitting in our damp basement for quite a few years (since 2003 I think?). I figured that since Monkey has such a deep love of computers, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him see what makes them tick. Also, the boy LOVES using tools - he got his own tool set for Christmas and was quite pleased to have a reason to use them. (Disclaimer: I have a degree in computer networking & maintenance so I was able to describe to Monkey what each of the parts were, and safely guide him in his disassembly. Please use caution and/or have a knowledgeable person around if you decide to do this at home!)
