the iPhone is a wonderful tool for entertaining the kiddos, especially when we're on the verge of a unstoppable public breakdown (in target, at the grocery store. etc.) as such, I am always on the hunt for new free kid-focused apps. i downloaded this gem – talking gina the giraffe – last week. basically you say something to gina and she repeats it back to you (aka records a snippet of you talking and plays it back), but in a funny, distorted voice.
both kids love it. pickle just giggles whenever the giraffe "talks" regardless of what she's saying. but quentin is full-on obsessed. he keeps asking to see the giraffe. he likes to "talk" to her but i don't think he quite gets that she just spits back what he says (and therefore is not actually as obsessed with trucks as he is.) i think he thinks he is involved on some sort of bizarre-world video conference call with a cartoon giraffe, because he will run and grab a truck and say, "look giraffe! gravedigger!" which is the same thing he does when he is on the phone with an actual human being.

Yeah, that Gravedigger thing is the fault of me and mom. He started doing it when we put him on Skype with Calder. Now neither of them can have a phone conversation without thinking the other person can see them.
