I Is For iPod

So lately Olivia has been absorbing everything we say or do like a sponge. We decided that we should take full advantage and really work with her on her letters, numbers, colors. There are a few of each that she knows really well and others not so much. She loves to read so we continue to point these out in all of her books. She is particularly fond of the number seven, can say the word, organize all of the sevens together on the fridge (yeah we are sporting the magnetic number decor on our fridge) etc. She recognizes the letter A and can say it. We are slowing working on a few at a time. Frequently, we will ask her where the B is, and we get either a blank stare, or a babbled response in a language we are not so well versed in.

Then there are some things that she picks up rather quickly. Insert the iPod Touch. As a decoy while grocery shopping or long drives in the car, I have relied on my iPod to distract Olivia and keep her entertained (I'm thinking parent of the year award?). I downloaded several kid friendly "aps" and she enjoyed playing the piano, looking at the animals and hearing their sounds, etc. What I didn't know, nor did I teach her, was her ability to navigate the menu and play songs. Imagine my surprise when she began playing the same song as the song that was on the radio. Coincidence? This happened a few times before I was convinced that she knew what she was doing. Then I began quizzing her....I would sing a few lines from a song and she would play the song I was singing (and lets be honest, if she can tell a song from MY singing, that's impressive!) ABC's.....is there an ap for that?
