June iPad apps that will entertain toddlers

The iPad isn’t the patron saint of parenting and should not be used instead of good parenting; but it can certainly help entertain and educate children.  Toddler Mojo is 20 months old now and adores his iPad time.   He learns from it and has fun at the same time.  Granted some of the iPad apps have more fun involved than learning; but there have to be some enhancements of his fine motor skills going on there too.  Here’s a quick rundown of what Toddler Mojo is digging on the iPad this month.

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Install a toilet paper holder

The chimpanzees faced the monolith in 2001 A Space Odyssey.  They spent 20 minutes figuring out society, and then the monolith appears which rapidly increases the learning powers of the apes.  Next thing you know Roddy McDowell is wearing a monkey suit, Marky Mark does a bad remake and Rise of the Apes hits in August.

Week 20-Mom and Dad, your baby is the size of a cantaloupe!

Dads, this is the halfway point of the pregnancy. However, up until now it’s been a slow build up and the really radical changes are just around the corner. Hint to dads: as the wardrobe of your bride is changing into maternity wear, surprise them with a gift certificate to a shoe store. At this point they may grouse about their clothing, however, shoes will remain the same size, so this gift is great for pregnancy and post pregnancy.

Dad spends a day in the mancave: The Mechanic & Ong Bak 3

What bathroom does a genderless child use?

Mommy Mojo and I will find out the gender of our second child this week.  I don’t really need to find out their gender, I’m good with surprises, even really big surprises like knowing if we’re having a boy or a girl.  My wife like her surprises on a smaller scale, like not knowing what’s for dinner until she gets home.

Daddy Mojo at the Movies-Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

We stopped watching Pirates of the Caribbean after the second one.  Me and my then future wife saw it in the theaters and it was OK, a little long and ended as a cliff hanger.  Any movie that ends in a curt manner with a cliffhanger shall have a pox on their franchise in the Mojo house.  That includes Back to the Future Part 2, as well as, the upcoming Harry Potter and Twilight.

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Replace a bathroom faucet

In our bathroom we have his and her sinks.   Each sink has its own accoutrements, soap stains and levels of dirt that happen naturally.  While I clean the sink area once I week, I’ll fess up that my side usually has a tooth paste glob on it, in addition to shave droppings.  That mess pales in comparison to the slippery funk that was in the drain area of my wife’s sink though.
