As a mom you're asked what your kid likes to play with. "What is his favorite toy?"
I've written before about Otto's love of computers. And they don't even have to be turned on or in working condition. He just wants to pretend to press the buttons and pretend he's doing stuff. Even better if he has a couple computers out at once, all lined up, ready for work. Over the moon happy if he has power cords to accompany the computers. Often times it looks like he's in the thick of coding, and other times I swear he's writing music/DJing because he's so absorbed in his work and often humming or singing.
The other morning he woke up (early as usual), crept to my side of the bed and loudly whispered "Mama, you want to play electricity with me?"
That was the best wake up I've had in a long time. So precious and entirely Otto. He was so excited for me to go out to the play room and "play electricity," which just means taking a half dozen computer power cords, hairdryer & flat irons and the like and tucking the cords and plugs into tiny nooks and crannies of drawers, wrapping them around furniture legs, etc.
Seriously. THIS is his favorite toy. Otto and his "electricity" (aka, power cords & plugs)
