This Grandma just got an iPhone4 and it’s the best toy ever! For any Grandma who thinks she doesn’t need one, or is afraid she won’t be able to operate it, or whatever the excuse may be, I say do your self a huge favor and go buy one. It is so easy to operate and it will make you a hit with the little ones! My granddaughter is only 3 and I wasn’t sure what apps there would be that she would be able to enjoy. No worries there. First I downloaded a Coloring app. She caught on to that so fast, it was unreal. Then I got her the Diego Music app with color coded music notes. It plays and the user repeats it by pushing the colored circles. Plus there are baby animals in it and she loves it. She also caught on to this one very quickly.
A couple off weekends later Hootie and I went and visited her and of course I brought the iPhone along. Practically right away we were looking at pictures I had taken recently, and watching little videos I had shot at home of the doggies playing and stuff and she looked up at me and said “I love watching videos with you Grandma.”  Melted my heart. But it’s not like sitting in front of a tv watching videos (which I am not a huge fan of). It’s really fun and the videos are short and ones that you take yourself so they have special meaning to the both of you. Plus it lets Grandma keep up with the digital age and teaches the young ones at the same time. Or if your grandkids are a bit older they can teach you, Grandma.
