wait until the baby can talk and ask you awkward questions like what are you doing etc

even better when they can start to read and you realize they’ve come over and are peering at your screen trying to work out the letters
I will have to write in very secret places when that happens :/
I have historically been very careless with what is on my laptop screen but when Farmbaby realized I could YouTube her videos of baby squirrels I started having to be a lot more careful about visual media.
[Her love affair with computers started early. Once I was watching her when she was barely verbal yet, and she toddled herself over to the computer and started poking it and saying “money. money. money.” It took me some time, and the intervention of her mother, to discover that her father had been showing her Google image searches of baby animals, particularly bunnies.]
I can still be pretty blasé, I thought, about written media, because c’mon, she’s not even three. But then she asked if she could type something, and carefully picked out her parents’ initials, her own initials, a few random letters that she was able to then name, and “M for mama!” and I thought, oh no, those days are numbered too. She already knows how to wake the thing from sleep and open a browser window… She opens the computer and crows, “BB-8!” because that’s my desktop wallpaper picture. That’s how I know she’s got the thing open, she can’t resist telling me she knows who it is.
