Freelance Writing and Blogging: "Work" for the Little Ones

You're on a roll, your muse is pouring fresh ideas over you like story dust from the skies and your sweet little one tugs on your shirt and says, "Mommy, I work too!"

Well, I've found a solution. Your wee one just admires you and your computer. Why not get them their own? Set up a "work station" where they can mimic you - while keeping occupied so you can finish your real work.

LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer is a great learning tool and is appropriate for ages 3 - 6-years-old. It only requires four AA batteries, and will bring entertainment and joy to your child. This educational tool simply hooks up to your television set and creates a real "grown up computer" experience that will definitely be gratifying to your little worker bee.

Do you already have one of these awesome gadgets for your child(ren)? Do you plan on getting them one? Are your children already in school, so that you have hours of quiet in the house each day, or do you homeschool and juggle that with your freelance writing or other business? How do you keep your cuties occupied when deadlines loom? Tell us in the comments.
