Riana's rainbow

I recently bought a iPad 2 and have been really enjoying it. I’ve also downloaded a number of applications for Riana to enjoy from games, books to drawing applications. Drawing, coincidently, is something that Riana has really gotten into recently.

One of her favorite things to make, next to stick figures of herself, are rainbows and she amazingly knows and remembers the color sequence.

The creation here is what she created using one of those drawing applications on the iPad. I, at most, spent only a couple of minutes showing Riana the specifics about the applications and she promptly began using them as an expert. This is proof enough that the iOS user interface and applications on here are truly easy for even a child to understand use.

Cheers

Majority of her toys, till now, were primarily used as chew toys or things to bang other things with and definitely not for their intended purposes. This, however, has begun to change in the past few weeks from the moment she figured out how the magnetic stacking toys worked.

She was initially facinated by the magical attraction two pieces held when either the top or bottom ends were brought close together. Since then she’s learned that she can stack up a large number of these toys and then smash them to the ground with feet stomping glory.

The other thing she’s slowly been picking up are sorting blocks. She’s managed to figure out how to insert the circle and square shaped blocks into their respective receptacles, but the triangle shaped block is being resistant to her will and sheer force doesn’t seem to convince the triangle block to enter the circle or square receptacle. All in due time I suppose.

To watch her go from using and abusing toys to actually play with them in their intended means is quite a wonderful transformation.

Cheers
