Our online shopper

Things just aren't what they use to be.  When we were growing up, we had to get up to turn the dial in order to change the 12 channel option on the tv.  Now there are countless channels that can be changed with the touch of a button.  When we were growing up, a phone had a set limit of digits and was limited to making phone calls that were sometimes answered with a busy signal.  Now "phones" are equipped with games, GPS, and to-do lists and a message can be answered with a simple text.  Years ago, I would wait months to get to go shopping with my mom for day long trips to the mall where we'd stack up with essentials for the upcoming season.  Now shopping is at our finger tips with options galore on the world wide web.

 Avery is close to mastering this online shopping skill.  If I pull up a website for her, she now knows how to navigate through the different apparel and 'add to bag.'  The other night I left her alone for a while and came back to find the 23 items had been added to bag.  Most items were for her, in her size - 5T.  There were a few other items in the bag, t-shirts for her brothers.... in the right size.

For now the online shopping is harmless.  She is learning to pick things she likes, have her own style.  The trouble will come she learns how to 'Proceed to Check Out'.
