The War of the Computer II

As you can see below, Lautje doesn't discriminate when it comes to computers: he's just as fixated on the Daddy's laptop as the Mommy's. And it doesn't matter what or who is in his way, he will go under, around or over to get what he wants.
The best defense (as displayed by the Daddy below) is generally to grab his clothing and hang on for dear life. Putting him back on the floor only buys 2-3 minutes of respite before he has found his way back in your lap and after the computer again. Needless to say, the more you put him back on the floor, the closer it becomes to a game, and the more he enjoys it and persists.
Of course, bribery also works. For the price of 2 remote controls, 5-10 minutes of peace...
