Ava's been keeping me busy, that's for sure. Along with playing board games, attending a program at the library, and other usual five-years-old activities, we had an astronomy lesson. Last night she learned about Orion. We ended our observation session by singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star in the cold, crisp January air.
This morning as breakfast was cooking (apple/cinnamon waffle sticks), she busied herself by taking pictures of birds. Her favorite bird is the Northern Cardinal, and our River Birch tree was loaded with them. Her device of choice was her iPhone, a gift from her uncle Dave because he updated. Besides taking pictures, she also reads books, listens to music (her favorite, Nora Jones), and plays games. Occasionally she makes a phone call or text. Not to worry, her parents set her up with some sort of app from Google that lets her call only them.
Gee, I have no idea of how to use an iPhone or any other smart phone. I am in the dark ages with my dumb phone. Lucky for me that I have Ava to show me how. And so this is how it is going down; we are teaching each other what we know. And that's how it should be :)
