February 2009 Archives

Nathan sent his first text message today, his nine-month birthday. Typed it, pressed Send, the whole bit, completely unassisted, just flailing, lucky thumbs. So sophisticated! He's reaching for the iPhone to do it again as I write this.

His prose, retyped here for posterity:

"zxaqaqno P"

Update: He just called Rigoletto Pizza. Maybe I should lock the phone.
