The iPad at work

I took Lola out for her first in-the-field experience the other day. The old driver's license needed to be renewed and that meant a trip to the good old DMV. If there is one place you are almost guaranteed to need some form of entertainment for the little ones, it's while waiting to get help in a government office. DMV is synonymous with 'this is going to take awhile so grab a number and park it,' is it not? Luckily, I saw this coming before leaving the house so I packed Lola. Since Henry fell asleep in the car on the way to the DMV office, I got to read a few chapters on Lola - The War of the Worlds (for free!). The weight is a bit heavier than your standard book but not annoyingly so, and, despite what I originally thought, I did get used to the inflexibility of the device. I love that the book looks like a book with a tease of a cover behind the layered pages. Awesome. What I miss is the feel of each page. Later, after Hen woke up and we went inside, I was able to keep him occupied with a rousing game of Peek-A-Boo Barn. He's quickly learning how to navigate the iPad, and enjoying the various apps I've downloaded for him. (These include the aforementioned Peek-A-Boo Barn, Magnetic Draw, Bee Book, and Bubble Snap.)
