ProPoints iPhone app

Posted on October 11, 2012June 13, 2014 by jenny

Fortunately he likes playing games on the iPad and iPhone, in between episodes of Chuggington and coughing, so we’ve been trying out some new apps. Based on the original books by…

Posted on November 26, 2011 by jenny

Edward is a geek already! He loves playing with our iPhones and iPad so we’re always on the lookout for new apps to amuse him. At 20 months he’s learned how to unlock the home screen to look at photographs of himself. He’s equally happy to take photos too! We were asked to try out…
