Old Fashioned

I have a love hate relationship with technology.  I love it for myself but sort of fight to let the girls get too obsessed with it.  I love old fashioned letter games and reading/writing/math workbooks.  But the girls like to use our iphones for games and I have noticed a huge difference in their learning curve.

So I decided to stop fighting technology and we splurged on iPad Minis for the girls this Christmas.  They are going to freak out!  I plan to set time limits and as is our other rule, no devices during family time (including while out to dinner).  I hope we continue to see great education skill building with the new devices.  Letters and numbers for Sawyer and reading and math for Sydney!

The other day Sawyer and I were playing with her popsicle letters.  Again, the old fashion way of learning letters.  She loves them, but kept asking if she could play on Daddy's kindle fire.  I said a few more minutes.
She was content for a few minutes after she recited all the letters (all but 5).  Then she gave me the most frustrated sigh.  Then I let her get the kindle.  Hehehehe.
