Benji loves it too. Yes, that's my child, standing on a laundry basket in front of a very large TV. I'm a terrible mother.
Isn't he cute?
He has been pretty grumpy with tooth #8 coming in; it's about to break through. Even so, he usually manages to ham it up for the camera.
Today is Allen's birthday. I have tried to be nice, and not ask him to do a lot of stuff; for example, I got up with Benji (and let Allen sleep until 11:30 a.m.--the one perk of having church start in the afternoon), fed him, put him down for a nap, got him up and dressed for church, kept him with me during church (which included a lot of squirming, peeing through his suit, and throwing up on me and the gym floor). I also made dinner, gave the boy a bath, brushed his teeth and put him to bed. I have also done a couple of loads of laundry . . .
never ending. I don't know if he appreciates it! I really tried!
This is his real birthday present, though:
We finally dumped Sprint and went to T-Mobile. Yes, that's the G1. No, we can't really afford it, but he did really want it. He has put all of the scriptures and lesson manuals on it already, and he keeps telling me cool things it can do. I'm particularly fond of the "Shop Savvy" feature--it 'scans' a barcode (by taking a picture of it), then cross-references it with your location and stores close to you and gives you a list of prices at the different stores. How cool is that? It connects with the Google calendar (so he'll always know when I'm working, and everything else--as long as I keep it updated!), interwebs, it has a GPS, etc., etc. I'll admit I'm a bit jealous. I did get a BlackBerry Pearl Flip for myself.
It's pretty cool, too. I'm not totally in love with it, probably because I didn't get the data plan to go with it. I'm trying to decide if I want something that's less BlackBerry and more phone. I probably just need to get used to it and its' lack of shortcuts. Oh well--it's definitely an upgrade! Bye, bye, fat phone!
