Instant messaging with a 5 year old

The “wink” will make sense to you if you use the MSN Messenger:

Emma says:
hi dad

Rich says:
HI FLUFF!!!!

Emma says:
tea party today please come

Rich winks:
Play “Heart”

Emma says:
wo (translation: woah)

Emma winks:
Play “Heart” (hmm, mummy’s help, I think)

Rich says:
cool

Emma says:
i luv you

Rich says:
I love you, too!

Doesn’t every parent communicate with their preschooler via IM?

UPDATE: the tea party was great. Cookies and iced tea. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
