Anthony loves playing on the iPad and does so every morning so this momma can snooze in a bit and slowly wake up. (Seriously. Who gets up before 6:00 every morning when you DO NOT HAVE TO?! Leave it to A!) This week I purchased some new apps with the hope he can continue to be entertained as well as learn a ton during those early morning hours. One app "Ultimate Dinopedia" has become an instant favorite. National Geographic Kids has created an application that is a complete dinosaur reference book that includes pictures, short tutorials and even video clips. How PERFECT for this dino-lover! To say the least, Anthony has completely fallen in love with the new app and did not want to put it down. (The picture above is of him waiting for the bus on his last day of the extended school year. "Just one more, momma...") All day I have been learning different facts about dinosaurs through A and seeing his love for this topic be cultivated even more. He's just so darn excited over it.
Could all of this have happened with just a book?
Can I bottle up this love of learning to use during the tougher years of school? PLEASE!
How much is technology cementing and enhancing his learning?
One this is for sure, I LOVE our iPad (and getting the chance to invisibly press snooze every morning)!

I, too, learn a lot about dinosaurs through Eli's passion for the creatures. I will be looking into this app ASAP! Thanks T!
Anthony looks so tall, like such a big boy, in that photo, although he's not even standing up! My goodness!
