Lovin' the i-Pad, Baby!

Apple was one of her first words...

"A" has always been her favorite letter...

So...it just makes sense...

The other night while I was cleaning up the kitchen

I was listening to the most delightful sounds

coming from the family room.

Frank had mentioned earlier that he wanted to show

Rachel something on the iPad.

Not only did it hold her attention for

an incredibly long time (as does her little laptop)

but she was having so much fun

and doing pretty well with it!

She uses her fingertip better than I do

to look at the photos on her Da-Da's Blackberry.

Apparently practice has prepared her well...

It was just the cutest thing!

The iPad had her attention and she had mine.

I could not stop watching her delight

(and her Daddy's:))

as she stared at and manipulated

what she was seeing on the screen...

with pretty good accuracy I might add.

Yes, I took several photos

and remembered to grab the video camera this time.

I wonder if this will make the
"Dear Santa..." letter this year...

On another note...

She is getting very good at a

game on her little toddler laptop.

She LOVES her ABC's and there is a game 

that "rains" letters one at a time. 

She is so cute as she identifies each letter

then finds it on the keyboard. 

Then she can press the key and collect the

letter "raindrops" in a bucket.

I could not believe how long she played it today!

Thanks to her laptop,
Play-Doh and Washable Markers...
preparing meals is pretty easy!
I will admit that I did take my eyes off her
briefly today and she colored
ALL over her forehead!
We seriously tested the "washable" part...
and, yes, yes they are!
Completely!
YAY!
