Meet Capaccio

Nicholas won a prize from Excite Gym! It's a cute little Webkinz bulldog puppy. Webkinz is an interesting concept. You pick out a stuffed animal for your pet. You go to the website at and enter the secret code that came with your animal. You then give your pet a name and adopt him. You even get a cute adoption certificate to print out. In the online Webkinz World, you have a pet that looks just like yours and you are responsible to feed it, play with it, and keep it happy and there's a monitor to show you how your pet is doing in these areas. You can do activities and games online to win more cash to buy food or things for your pet's room. It's a neat concept to teach children about earning money, saving money for a purchase, and the responsibility of taking care of a pet. We have not let Nicholas play any computer games yet so he has no experience using a computer but I think this will be a fun way to introduce him to using one. So far he has been perfectly content to just play with his stuffed animal. He named it Capaccio and he loves to snuggle with him at bedtime.
