Ty's iPod Touch

What in the world would a 19 months old do with an iPod Touch?

Well, apparently quite a bit. Don't believe me, ask my son. Both me and Phil have iPhone 4's and we both like to game. So it's only natural to download game apps, because some times we are away from our consoles, and we need a fix. Also, having a toddler, there are apps that both entertain and educate him. So we found that to be great. Oh, another thing, iTunes. Nick Jr. videos of his favorite shows and kiddie songs at times are just life savers. So in those crazy times, all you gotta do is whip out the phone, find the game or video, start it up and voila, his is calmed.

Since he's around Phil alot more of the times, he has access to her phone. And on her phone, he has an entire page of all his stuff. After a little while, we would notice him touching the screen and interacting with the phone. We didn't think much of that. It was funny when he came across someone with another phone which was not touch screen because he would try to touch the screen and nothing would happen.

Then it evolved to just starting whatever thing he wanted and putting it in his lap and he would go at it. Then it happened. One day, he got up, went and found Phil's phone, sit down with it, unlocked it, swiped to the page with his stuff, which side note, is one of 5 pages if I'm not mistaken. Then he would select a game or whatever he wanted to do. We laughed and was just amazed. At that time, we just thought it was just random. Until we actually just sat and watched him and that's when we realized that he was very calculated and know exactly which game he wanted. When he was done, he knows how to get back to the home screen and he would select a different item. It was solidified when friends and family started noticing this also and just being amazed by it.

Well, here we are. Before I got my iPhone 4, I had an iPod Touch. After I got my phone, I didn't use the Touch anymore. So me and Phil decided that, maybe we would charge up the Touch, load it with his items, and let him use it. Helpful because then Phil will have her phone back. We did it and well now our 19 months old has an iPod Touch, and knows how to use it.

Think about it, when you were 19 months, how technologically savvy were you? We are, not surprised, just amazed, proud, and just like wow, awesome. We got a pretty cool smart kid. But, hey, look who his parents are :)

Next stop, getting a case for it.
