Brilliant simplicity

My 3.5 yr old played with this app for a large part of this snow day. It's brilliant simplicity had her enthralled. She said she wanted to play with her "friend <her name>". The best part was that it got her creative juices flowing and body moving. She put the iPad on the couch and then ran down the hall and back. She got a huge kick out of chasing herself. She really wanted to talk to it (like those talking Tom cat apps). It would be awesome it you could record the kids hamming it up for this camera! Fantastic app-simply genius!
