W taking his picture with the iPad |
Initially, we used the it to Skype with grandparents. Like most babies, W loves looking in the mirror. So we had some fun turning the camera on him and taking pictures. Then one day, as W was starting to crawl, my husband started a new game..."chase the iPad." It's a game that goes something like this: turn the camera facing your baby and with any luck he will follow his reflection. After a few weeks, he was crawling all over the place.

Now W's 8 months old, and he stalks our iPhones, the iPad, and loves to pound the keys on the laptop. Like most children of his generation, he won't know a world without global communication. Skype allows W to connect with grandparents and relatives hundreds of miles away. Distance isn't a barrier to him, and it never will be.
Now I'm just waiting for the day when he masters the iPad interface, and no longer needs me to set-up Skype so he can talk to his grandparents. I have a feeling it will be here sooner than I think.
