Cub update
May. 31st, 2012 07:18 amThis is a great comic strip: http://xkcd.com/1053/ It explains one of the things I find cool about being a parent. It's literally my job to introduce this cub to cool new things, all the time.
We have a Kindle Fire (a Chrismas gift). It's used almost exclusively by the cub. It started with a bubbles app (it makes bubbles when you touch the screen, and pops them when you touch it again). Then, I found a puzzles app that does simple puzzles. He mastered that and will spend hours on it, dragging pieces into place, then watching the picture resolve.
And last night? I found a piano app. An octave +1 keyboard, playable by touch. He loves that, too.
At some point, one of us might actually read books on the thing, but it may be a while.
Anyway, the cub is teething again. The last set of molars are finally ready to break through the gums. At least one already has. I am starting to ponder cake ideas for his birthday next month.
