I’m always taking pictures of SteelyKid going about her business, so a little turnabout is fair play:
The “camera” she’s using is actually a small calculator that my mom gave her. She also uses this like a phone, to carry on lengthy conversations with her great-grandmother and sometimes friends from day care. She’ll also sometimes just punch the buttons to watch the numbers change on the display.
Basically, it’s a toddler iPhone. A whole lot cheaper than a real one, though…
Does she have roll-over minutes on that thing? And I worry about roaming charges, too!
This is pretty awesome.
This seems apropos to the “also uses this like a phone” point:

(Sorry for the threadomancy – I thought I’d seen something more recent about Steelykid using items as phones but couldn’t find anything.)
