Wet Work

One of the things I love about a hot summer is starting a chore and ending up in a water fight...

could life be sweeter?

Two Sheep and le Google

Hopefully soon we will have the internet hooked up at Phillips and things on the blog will be running a little smoother again.

Has anyone ever noticed just how long it takes to get the internet hooked up? Like... is 10 - 20 business days really a reasonable amount of time? Honestly. Is that normal?

What did people do BEFORE the internet? Like seriously. What did I do before the internet.. I can't even remember... Oh .....maybe ...like... maybe I went to the library... *shakes head* no, no I didn't.

 So back to the internet - I haven't been able to google anything. ANYTHING. This is really, really, really annoying. (first world problem right here.)

Mostly, I need le Google when Hunna and I have a conversation that goes a little something like this...
(which is often.)

Me " Oh look Boy is watching Timmy Time on T.V"
Hunna " Its Shaun the Sheep."
Me "Nah.. there are two shows with sheep, this one is Timmy Time"
Hunna "Looks like Shaun the Sheep to me"
Me " No Shaun the Sheep is more like Wallace and Gromit style"
Hunna " It's Shaun the Sheep"
Me "Fine, lets google it...
Me " Oh, we dont have any internet..."

(2 days later, while scabbing the in-laws internet....)

 

 

Who was right Hunna? WHO WAS RIGHT? me.. yes me.

O.k so we absolutely positively need google because I am competetive. No! its not because I am competetive.... its because no body ever EVER believes me when I say ANYTHING and I need google to back me up.

Don't I have a trust worthy face?

Would I lie?

... O.k... dont answer that one.

My top pick of Educational Apps for a 2-3 year old. (ipad)

Lately I have been wanting to get Boy MORE interested in counting and colours. More than just counting fingers or playing hide and seek and more then pointing at his toys and asking him to name the colour.

I want it to really sink in but in a fun way.

So after downloading ALOT of bad apps here is my pick of the two best ( fun) educational apps for ipad.

 

Play Lab & Play 123

Both made by CJ Educational

 

 

Boy LOVES both these apps. He has the best fun and can easily navigate through the different activities himself. He is learning motor skills when he draws shapes. He loves the counting game that shoots the number of balls from a 1, 2 or 3 to demolish walls.

 

Of course after the educational I love a good interactive story.

 

This one has to be my favourite interactive ipad story, by moonbot books.

 

The fantastic flying books of Mr Morris Lesmore

 

Now I know this one isn't free like the others but it is well worth it! The best part about the book is that since we have purchased it has been updated and extended so its always getting another great new interactive page added.

 

 

If you have any great apps that you recommend, let me know.

 

It's so difficult to find apps that are interactive, interesting and well made and I'd love to try some more out.
