New computers

I think I've expressed enough that we have very little screen time in our house for the girls.  It's been a big thing with us.  We want them to learn, play and use their imaginations using things they thought of themselves.  So far it's worked.  They play amazingly well and think of the most interesting things to play that are NOT commercial.  It really does make my heart sing. 
However, with Paige's recent probable diagnosis, we were told by her SLP that a software program called Cogmed would help her working memory.  In other words, she would be able to listen and implement things she hears and learns in the classroom much easier and faster so she can instead focus more and concentrate longer on the more important things she needs to learn like reading.  From the information we read the research shows it is absolutely proven to increase her working memory.  So we bought her (and what you buy for one, we must buy for the other) a new computer to start the program at home.  Plus, we know that the schools use them and we want them to be exposed and learn to use a mouse properly.  Paige will be followed and coached by her SLP each week until she finishes, but she can do it at home, which is super nice.  We set them up in Brian's office at tables that fit them and they seem to really enjoy them.  So far it hasn't been a big deal with too much time being spent on them.  I think they realize they can be fun, but are probably there for school and learning.  I hope this program gives Paige an extra boost for school and learning.  Gooooo Paige!
