Tabitha got an iPad game

We got an iPad game for Tabitha to play. Facing the task of choosing something for her to play has filled me with dread, but someone recommended one to Charlotte and removed the responsibility so that was fortunate.

I've enjoyed watching her play Tearaway on the Vita, but she doesn't really get it yet. She likes hitting the buttons but I don't think she links that to movement on the screen. Maybe she will now; I don't know.

This iPad game, though, has been a lot of fun to watch. It's basically a series of mini games. You choose an animal then you go to visit some other animal's house and play a mini game. From something simple like tucking them into bed and turning off the light, to dragging components of a disguise to one or both of their faces.

Her hand-eye coordination has noticeably progressed in the three days that she's been playing it. It's pretty crazy to see. She conducts herself with such purpose now, where initially she was just randomly prodding the screen in the first instance, then asking for my help.

Perhaps the most interesting thing she does is put her finger in her mouth whilst each game loads. It took me a little while to figure out what she was doing, but her dragging technique needs a bit of work so she's lubricating her finger so it moves better. Resourceful little devil.

She even has a favourite mini game, and when we give her her "next game is the last one" warning, she'll cycle through the randomly generated ones until she reaches it. It sometimes takes up to five minutes just to generate it. The game is one where you inflate balloons. She likes to partially inflate them and listen to the farting noise they makes as they blow around the room. Why are fart sounds so universally funny?

And yes, we moved that hula hoop half way through me taking these pictures. But some of them that had it in were so good I couldn't just delete them
