Over the past few months, I have been sharing my iPhone with my Toddler. I added a list of toddler tunes to my phone, which has come in very handy. Whenever I take him to the grocery store, I simply turn on the music and hand him the phone to listen to. Of course I turn the volume low because not everyone likes to hear the wheels on the bus. He sits quietly and bobs up and down to the music. It helps me out a lot. Plus it makes me laugh, which helps reduce the stress of a chaotic grocery store.
My son is now 16 months and amazes me every day. I bought an application called ITot Cards. I think it was $1-$2 and has realistic pictures. It breaks things down into separate categories (animals, objects, foods, colors, shapes, and alphabet). There is even a voice that tells your child what the card is showing. Ben is really into the animals and likes to copy some of the sounds. I am still in awe that a 15 month old would learn how to work the application so fast. After watching me a few times, he figured out how to swipe his finger across the screen to change the card.
