Dot COOOOOM

Carter has discovered the wonders of the internet! You can access anything you want simply by typing the name of that thing and adding ".com" at the end!

It started with Peter Brown, illustrator of the book Creepy Carrots. He visited Carter's school this fall and Carter really, really liked him. Carter also heard that he had a website. That night at our house, it sounded something like this:

Mom, we have to go to peter brown.com!
peterbrown.com
peterbrown.com!
Just GO to peterbrown.com!
Dad - can we go to peterbrown.com?
peterbrown.com!
peterbrown.com
peterbrown.cooooooooooom!
just go to peterbrown.COOOOOOOOM!

For the record, his website is peterbrownstudio.com.

When we were driving home from thanksgiving, Carter really wanted to stop at McDonalds. We told him that we didn't know where there was a McDonalds on the way home. So he said (with a "duh" attitude) "just go to mcdonalds-near-coventry-road-dot-com"!

Since then, Carter has started trying to navigate the web on his own, as, clearly, his parents are too slow. Recently, we came upon the computer to find this...

Can you guess what he was searching for? (Hint: it wasn't cookie cakes, and he confuses "ch" with "ck")

Carter Draws Our Family

Carter loves his Fisher-Price computer games. He can hook it up all by himself and will escape to our office to do his "work" for half an hour at a time (which, if you don't have a 3-year-old, you may not realize is a huge chunk of time).

Last night, called us into the office to see his work. "Look! It's our family!" He had used the art program to make a picture of the three of us. He used the stamp tool to select and make the faces, and then used the stylus to free-hand the bodies (and he even drew in noses).

His picture of the three of us:

The other Fowlkes family as a work-in-progress. (He switched to pink for them. He also gave them arms...)

And the completed pic of (from L to R) Sammy, Park, Anna and Ashley (who is apparently the tallest, in Carter's mind). You can click the photo to see larger.
