Proud Mommy

My kids are obsessed with technology. YouTube is like heroin to them. They get angry and crazy if they go too long without it. 

Buddy is actually less-addicted to it than his sister. Rea sometimes exhibits junky-behavior. It's a bit scary. 

I have told her that I would rather she play on her iPod, than watch videos of other people playing. Maybe it's a generation thing... 

A few months ago (or maybe longer), Rea decided she needed her own website. I thought "what a great idea!" I can teach her to blog, she can write, plan, code. It'd be awesome! So I built this website for her: 

And then she wrote ONE post. Ugh.

Rea asked me if she could have her own YouTube page... we have a family one (and 12 whole subscribers - hahahahaha). But apparently, she cannot share with me. I told her I would let her on one condition: she needed to spend time on her website. 

Yesterday, we downloaded this app called OSnap! This app is perfect for creating stop-action videos. I put the app on each's iPod. Both kids spent HOURS making videos. HOURS. It was glorious! 

They set up their tripods (the ones that came with their Stikbots) and created several videos each. 

Rea wrote a post about the app. As promised, she now has her own YouTube page. 

If you have a YouTube obsessed child, please consider allowing him/her to subscribe to Rea's page. I know she will be checking (probably constantly). And if you feel like popping over to her site to see the post she wrote today, click here. 

​Thank you so much!
