E-commerce

Abigail has a plastic toy which looks like an iPod. She calls it her iPhone.

Let me make this clear: it isn't an iPhone, and I don't plan to buy my kids phones for the next few years. More than one person has acted surprised when they over hear her playing and ask us if we bought her an iPhone - including my mother-in-law.

Not only has Abigail been watching movies, listening to music, and playing games on her iPhone (again, for pretend) - she's also bought us clothes. She's got it down:

How old are you dad?* What color pants do you want? Click - I bought it. It will come in the mail.

She did this over & over yesterday. And today, she continues to take pictures with her 'phone.' Kids really are immersed in technology. I'm sure my parents thought the same when I was young. But Abigail already gets that the ideal shopping experience is having some basic information, she can enter it into a phone and have it shipped to our house in one click.

*I suspect she asks my age as childrens' clothes are sized by age (24 months, 3T, etc...).

HFGBD

Monthly, our family gets together for HFWD (headley family work day). This month, it landed on Valentine's Day, which is also Laura's & Chris' (sister-in-law) birthday.

Korynne changed the focus to HFGBD (headley family girl's birthday). So, among other things, she had a quartet come and sing songs!

Benjamin was amazed the singers.

Thanks for this Korynne!
