Although Christina is a little young to be overly concerned about her online habits, I don't think it is anything to be relaxed about. As the internet becomes more common place it is a beast to contend with.

An example is the iPad Christina has begun using as a communication device. Christina has only started using it and has a long way to go, but the possibilities seem endless with the various accessibility features.

It is better to be prepared as Christina gets older. I would say the best precaution and to make the most enjoyable experience for Christina is to be sure to educate Christina about the world wide web.

Here is an article from US Cyber Security. The title is "Cyber Security Tip ST06-002: Debunking Some Common Myths". I have listed the myths they cover below. Go to their site for the truths.

* Myth: Anti-virus software and firewalls are 100% effective.
* Myth: Once software is installed on your computer, you do not have to
worry about it anymore.
* Myth: There is nothing important on your machine, so you do not need to
protect it.
* Myth: Attackers only target people with money.
* Myth: When computers slow down, it means that they are old and should be
replaced.

As the housework gets whittled away I managed to get caught up reading some emails. I found some good information and will post each item individually.

Last weekend was busy with Christina. We had the UCP Short Walk on Saturday morning. The weather had a little chill and was very damp. We did not run into any rain while we were outdoors.

The Doll and Pet Parade was Saturday afternoon. Christina had fun and it was nice to watch her wave to the onlookers.

Sunday was nice and sunny so most of the day was spent outside.

It won't be long and school will be out for Christina.

As I sit here sweating I am debating on whether or not I should turn on the air. It is only May. I seem to have missed spring.

To add to the confusing weather, there is a tornado watch until tomorrow.

Not good weather for car/truck batteries. Kept busy at work today.

May 3rd is National Children's Mental health Awareness Day.

May is National Childhood Stroke Awareness Month.
