The (non) addict at play


Here's a relatively rare picture - Viva engrossed on the iPad.  Boys and girls are definitely different, and my kids are a good example of that.   Viva is just not "into" the same things that the boys are - the iPad and games on it being in that category.  And when she does play she uses different apps.  She likes the art apps, here is a picture from last week:


She drew this particular masterpiece to send to her Father in Barrow - isn't technology great?  She likes the art apps, the music ones (composing her own "scores" using barnyard animals dragged onto the stave!), and singing alphabets, ... the boys like the dinosaur encyclopedia, the games (checkers for Jake, every time!), and whatever is new.  It is fun seeing how they use it differently.

On a somewhat related note, our new favorite iPad use is Facetime!  We get to talk to Matt with video whenever he's out of town, and the kids enjoy holding up their pictures/new lego creations/the cat/whatever they want to "show" him their day.  We're lucky to have technology!
