This morning I hear a conversation between my 3 year old and 8 year old.
I’ll start by saying that the boys got iPod Touch’s for Christmas. (Santa must have thought they were really good this year!) They love them so very much and I must admit that while this isn’t a sponsored post for iPod Touch, I have to tell you that I love it! No, I’m not playing on it, but when we are at a doctor’s office, in line at the grocery store, or anywhere else that we are required to wait for a period of time, it is great to get the iPod Touch out and let my little two play for a bit. Not only can my 17 month old son master the iPod Touch, but he is learning stuff from the fun apps, such as Starfall and Beary Happi, which are just a couple of his favorite apps.
So this morning as I’m sitting on the corner of the sofa enjoying my first cup of coffee I hear this cute little conversation….
8 year old says to 3 year old: “What game you playing buddy?”
3 year old: “I’m playing Angry Birds! Are you playing Angry Birds?”
8 year old: “Yes, but are your birds really angry?”
3 year old: “My birds certainly are mad!”
Maybe it was a little more funny to me because I’m their Mom, but I just thought it was so cute, especially that he threw the word certainly in there!
We have been very busy lately.
We recently purchased an investment property. We actually closed on it just before Christmas and have been spending a lot of time at the new house. I am very impressed at how much our boys have been helping out. While I joke that child labor is the best because it’s super cheap and they work super fast, I really have to say that my boys rock at this stuff! I’m so glad they are learning things like this while they are young and can take it with them when they are older. We have run into a few added expenses that we hadn’t originally planned and so we are doing most of the work (that we can do) ourselves. Not only has it been great for us as a family (because we are all working together and spending time together) but we are hoping to be able to reward the boys in the end, they are super excited!
How have you been staying busy in the New Year?
Have you set New Year’s resolutions or goals?
I am going to start a weight loss journey soon (I will be blogging about it along the way and hope that others will join me.)
