MODEL #3 BUDDY BOY

Model #3 Buddy Boy, a.k.a Alex, passed his 5th birthday this year and is full of surprises. We've mentioned our recent discovery of his creative tendency. We were also surprised to find just yesterday that addition facts have been downloaded to his data base. Co-producer, Jamie, was feeling negligent in this area having been working hard on the reading data base and was puzzled to find that Model #3 does not count on his fingers like last generations models. Instead he does some kind of high tech counting in his mind--his father must have programmed this particular area. For the passed few months we have been working on a peculiar malfunction of Model #3--all systems fail when he hears the word "clean."

Fuel Source: recyclables for new projects, games (the kind he makes up where the rules change every 5 minutes), playing alone, lullabies, reading books to mom, and giggling.
