Here is Connor and his friends, Nick and Sam. They had a sleep-over at our house and this is how I found them at midnight. They are sooooo Geeky! They are all about Gameboy, Xbox, PS2, Wii, etc. They call themselves the 3 Amigops, and have for 4 years (they were 7 years old then). They can tell you all the best games, finish each other's sentences, and can hang out for days and not get tired of each other.
They are now 11 years old, but have been friends since kindergarten. They go to 2 different middle schools, and will probably go to 2 different schools when they get to high school also. When there is a kids night at the University, they go together; when there's a birthay, they are together; when a summer program comes up that interests one of them, the call the others.
I think it is great, that age 11, they have such good friends. It is good to see that, even though they don't see each other every day at school, the can still be so close.
As parents of these techno wizards, we think similar. We are pretty laid back about what they can/cannot do. Don't get me wrong, we do have lines that we draw, but we let them have fun, stay up late, and be kids.
