Last week I received a lovely iPod Touch for my birthday - all wonderful in its sleekness and cleverness. I downloaded a few puzzles and games for Tara (who is a couple of months from turning 3), and witnessed her picking the concept of these up within a period of about 3 1/2 minutes. Switching between apps, tilting the iPod up and down to make Dora slide down her rainbow slide .... amazing!
For some time I have resisted teaching her electronic games and puzzles, thinking "Well, back in my day I had to play an actual puzzle or read an actual book" .... which fortunately, she also loves to do and carries several books with her in the car, to the shops, to the bath, at the breakfast table.......I then realised though (after I realised I was thinking about "back in my day" too often) that she has been born into a technological era, and will be surrounding by technology each and every day - so as long as this play is balance with other play, then I see it as a good thing that she learns.
The last few days my Dad has been visiting ..... oh what fun was it to see her 'teaching' him the tricks of the technological trade.
And to tie in with this week's theme for 'Let's Do 52' - "CELEBRATE" :)

Those are so adorable Bec! My favorite is the one of your Dad laying his head down on the table. Probably because I have felt that way about technology far too many times. The expressions of both of them together are such a treasure.
Love these photos. Love Tara's expressions - makes me feel like I'm in the room with her. She is just adorable. And you are right - she does need to be exposed to this kind of technology. It will be expected knowledge when they enter school probably. But also soooo important that they love real books and puzzles. I feel so fortunate that like Tara, Ruby just loves books and puzzles. But she also LOVES the tozzle app on the iphone and will happily sit and do puzzles on the iphone when she is bored in a waiting room or in the car.
Wow ~ treasures. Capturing this happiness between these two...what a gift!
so beautiful, she's stunning! I love the joy you captured. And the relationship between your subjects. SO awesome!
oh my gosh I love this so much!
Oh I just love your celebrating photo! and isn't it amazing how the youngins pick up on the technology so quickly?? my kids are always teaching their grandparents how to work their ipods or phones, or computers, whatever...
