To my little gadget lover,
These days, it seems you are never without your iPad or my iPhone in hand, playing Angry Birds. How a 3 year old became obsessed with what amounts to an arcade game I’ll never know, but one day I’ll tease about how you make me tell you Angry Birds bedtime stories (complete with your own special effects because you memorized the sound each bird makes as it flies), and how you’d watch dozens of YouTube videos a day featuring Angry Birds anecdotes and spoofs.
For now, I’ll just snap away as I spy you indulging in your popular obsession. And buy you plush Angry Birds for your birthday. And bribe you into eating your veggies with new apps. And hold onto the digital negatives to show your kids one day, so they can laugh at what you played with 🙂
Love always,
mama
Please visit my awesome friend Alison next to read her letter to her son Hunter!
What a handsome dude – My son is doing the same thing! Angry birds OBSESSED!
Lol, reminds me of my nephew. He’s always on an iphone, ipod or ipad.
You have such a cute little boy!
Hey Angry Birds is a great game! hehehe. Adorable that he makes you tell him Angry Bird bedtime stories. They are making a movie!! It comes out in 2016 though, so hopefully he’s still into them by then.
Oh my god, that is definitely my Zion. He would always take my phone and play away all day if I let him. I love all of the photos!! 🙂
My boys are hooked too! They love angry birds so very much.
How adorable!! It’s funny to think that kids will one day look back and laugh at iPads.
I’m glad my son isn’t the only one… and I can’t believe I haven’t snapped a pic of him with his iPad. And my son is obsessed with all things Angry Birds, too. His grandparents buy him a plush every time they go out. Crazy. I love how intently your lil’ guy is looking at it. Personally, I love the iPad for kids. Btw, your son is gorgeous!
How cute! My youngest is definitely a gadget lover too!
My children are like that. He’s so cute.
He’s so cute. It’s amazing how tech savvy kids are now. I actually had to hide our ipad from the boys because it’s all they wanted to do, lol!
Can you even imagine what gadgets will be like when they have kids? Holograms and Star Trek stuff, I cant even imagine!
He would LOVE a movie! Omg, this is his fantasy, lol!
Thanks Donna!
I’m excited for the movie too haha.
I had to giggle at this. My son will hide my ipod so he can watch Daniel Tiger on there.
He is so sweet! Both my kids love Angry Birds, keeps them out of my hair when I’m busy:)
Oh I can totally relate to this! My boys are the same way – but with MineCraft!
Awww thats so sweet. Love the photos
Lol, *this*
LOL — I well know this love affair. We have AB underwear, shirts, pajamas, hand sanitizer, water bottles, cookie cutters, bento supplies …. EVERYTHING Angry Birds. It’s crazy how much little kids love that game!
My son has the same addiction, lol.
Aww you have an adorable little boy.
Too funny! My son is iPad obsessed too- he was obsessed with Angry Birds for awhile but has moved on to several other games now. Love it.
LOL! That’s so cute and sweet. I don’t know any kids who can resist the siren call of Angry Birds!
Such a cutie! M is just like this with my phone however she’s just pushing things for fun with no rhyme or reason 😉
That’s precious that he loves the gadgets too!
He is just adorable and it’s just amazing how kids are getting hooked on gadgets at such a young age these days.
What a sweetheart! My daughter is 9 and she is obsessed with the iPod and Kindle games.
My daughter is handling withdrawals surprisingly well. Her iPad screen broke and is being sent out for repair on Monday.
Isn’t it amazing how childhood toys have changed LOL. My daughter and husband went to VA for the weekend and both had to bring their iPads for entertainment!
That is really cute!
He is just so precious Penelope!
I love this!
What a cute little guy! I bet you have a ton of fun with him.
The creators really hit a gold mine with Angry Birds. The fascination this these flying piggie bashers is mind-boggling. At least he likes something so cute and relatively innocent 🙂
Isn’t it crazy how kids are with technology? Nick loves playing games on my tablet although not Angry Birds. 🙂
Aren’t the phases our kids go through just adorable? Playing Angry Birds takes skill and is great for hand eye coordination.
I think he’s the cutest and his silly little bird addiction is also the cutest! It’s so wild to me how easily kids take to technology!
The study was done by Kytephone, a company that gives parents tools to turn their Android phone into a more kid-friendly device. They studied 13,000 kids between the ages of eight and 14 in more than 70 countries and found that Angry Birds Star Wars was the most popular game, probably because adding lightsabers to things inherently makes them more awesome. It’s joined in the top three by the original Angry Birds and Bad Piggies. The study wasn’t based on downloads, but rather on total time children spent playing each game.
