Today I took Andrew to his swimming lesson. The one right before the last one. He’s doing really well and is confident but he’s over confident and doesn’t listen so he’s always spinning around at the wall when he should be holding onto it. He loves his teacher, Miss Amanda, and I think she’s great, too. No talking to me like I’m three, so I like that a lot. After this session Andrew will take a break because we’ll be swimming in pools and at the beach so there won’t be much time for lessons, but when school starts back up so will lessons.

Review: Tiggly Words
We’ve been fans of Tiggly since before they launched. We’ve reviewed all of the products and apps that have come before. We received a copy of Tiggly Words to play with and review. Opinions of this new app and toy are 100% our own. We have used Tiggly almost exclusively with Andrew. Those very first games had Andrew identifying his shapes and colors within the span of 30 minutes. With Tiggly Counts Andrew was excited about counting and he’s counting to 100 all the time, especially at the supermarket. Now with Tiggly Words we are beginning to start early reading with Andrew.
A significant improvement with the Tiggly apps happened with Tiggly Words. The toys work perfectly on iPads that use screen protectors. We’ve had no problems at all with the game recognizing the letters that Andrew choses while playing. Andrew started off playing the Tiggly Submarine app. That is the words related app that he likes the most. The game kept him occupied and engaged for an hour right out of the box. The next day I came home from work and my wife asked Andrew to spell his favorite word. It is HUG. I picked him up and told him that I would make his favorite word bigger and add an “e” to it to make it huge, and I gave him a huge hug.
Andrew has been using Tiggly Words for a few days now and it is working well for him. He’s noticing words more and he is spelling them for us. Tiggly Submarine is still his favorite but he also enjoys Tiggly Tales. When Tiggly Doctor comes out later this week (June 11th) he’ll try that as well. Each game comes free with the purchase of Tiggly Words. Now Tiggly can be found at Target stores in the us and Best Buy stores in Canada. You can learn more about that in the press release below.
