elysa's picks
  1. Camera
    Camera So I can take TONS of video and photos!) I like it better then all the others camera apps..I only use it for effects / filters...camera gives me photo and video - I take a TON of both...So that's 1.
  2. The Monster at the End of This Book...starring Grover!
    The Monster at the End of This Book...starring Grover! seriously...Sesame Street did a GREAT job on that book. It works on ipad/iphone/and touch; plays by itself, reads out loud, it's very interactive. When Noah was just a few months old he liked to swipe at the screen to "play" with Grover during the story. This is a really neat book (for anyone - not just a dad!) :) But Noah really enjoys how fun/colorful/interactive it is.
  3. Facebook
    Facebook How is this a "dad" app?!?! Well....kids (and wifes) appreciate it when you share pictures and your life with other people. One of the coolest things about being a dad is sharing our story with people!
  4. Twitter
    Twitter Continuation from same reasons for Facebook... These 2 apps let me share our story Every Day! Almost every time my wife is out with her friends they say, "I wish my husband was "sharing" as much as yours - he puts pics up on facebook/twitter all the time...but my husband would never do that..he's just to busy with work! :)" So I just want to let dads know your family knows they are important when you take time to share your life with your social network (friends/family/co-workers)... :)

Whoa. I did NOT know about the "Monster at the End of this Book" app. That was one of my FAVORITE books as a kid, and I look forward to sharing it with my 18 month old boys. And now I can do it via my iPhone. Heh.
