Smart uses for Smart Phones

FROM NBC: Many moms and dads are reaching for their smart phones to play number and letter games with their little ones. Or, they'll hand their preschoolers their phone so the parent can get a few minutes of quiet while waiting for a restaurant table.

This is so true in my family. I dread going out to eat because the kids are just too wild, but I am grateful for the smart phone and video iPod. My two year old will sit and watch Thomas with the little ear phones up to his ears. It cracks me up. And my preschooler will play brick breaker. It does keep them occupied before the food gets there. My husband also gets the Disney Channel on his phone. That helps too!
Do you use your phone/iPod to entertain the kids at restaurants?
