And now our toddlers are iPhone addicted


Good thing I don’t have an iPhone, my twin toddlers would be fighting over it all the time, apparently.

    my son is obsessed with my phone and I’m not one of those moms that shoves it in front of him with an app on to shut him up either. He’s attracted to it like a bug to a light, lol. I just have to be careful he doesn’t drool down the head phone jack and set off the water damage sticker in side it.

    my 2 and a half year old already knows how to use my iphone, including watching his spiderman cartoons on it. He also uses it like “papa” doing “busy work” on his like his papa does.

    On the Today show this morning they were touting the iPad as a kid friendly gizmo. A bit expensive, isn’t it?
    I know they use one at my son’s preschool in small group activities. Couldn’t figure out why he was trying to use my BlackBerry as a touch screen until I saw the sign up sheet for the iPad at preschool.

    When I was a toddler, I was so interested in the house phone, constantly pulling it off the hook to “talk” that my mother got me and old phone to play with. We had a party line, so lifting the phone off the hook was really a problem. I played with that phone for years. I used to call my dolls and stuffed animals, and in later years (about 5 or 6) I would set one of them up as operator and have the others pretend to call in from sticks and rocks that I had set up as phones. I don’t think this is anything new. Kids want to do what they see their parents doing. Parents talk on cell phones now, not wall phones.
