You Know Your Child Is Addicted to The iPhone or iPad When…

From time to time James will send me things he sees in the news that he thinks would make for good blog fodder. And although the articles he forwards me are usually thought provoking-  I never seem to get around to actually writing about those topics. (I’m too busy posting about the big issues- like the Yo GabbaGabba Cage Match)

This past week James sent me a Gizmodo article titled  ”Experts Worry Toddlers Are Becoming iPhone Addicts“, and well, I think they may be on to something.

The other day Ryan and I decided to make cupcakes “just for fun!” And his idea of fun was very specific and kicked my idea of simple cupcake decorating up about 5 notches.

Gone are the days of Sprinkles and M&M faces.

Thank you Angry Birds.

    Dude, the closest I ever got to this was Very Hungry Caterpillar cookies – these are divine!! Don’t show my daughter, kay? (oh don’t worry, I’ll break down – she’s an Angry Bird addict too.)

    As for the rationale? My child has figured out momentum, arc, rate of descent and trajectory all thanks to Angry Birds – and she hasn’t gotten out of 2nd grade yet! ;)

    First of all, those are awesome cupcakes are AWESOME! We just discovered Angry Birds, and we’re all addicted. As someone who is a tech geek, and someone married to a computer geek I think there is value in these tools, beyond being awesome and fun.

    Lucretia-love that answer!

    Yowza, you made those?? My husband, an Angry Birds addict, confirmed their authenticity. Good work.
