ipod

The other day at church Jacob was given a discarded ipod. He had high hopes that it would work. I could just see the sparks of excitement at even just the thought he could have an ipod. I told him not to get too excited because I wasn't even sure if it worked. Well we borrowed Myrna's charger to see if it would even turn on: it did! Oh boy how excited the kids were for that. But there was a password that we didn't know. Well lucky for us Dada is kinda technology savvy because he got the thing up, running and connected to my i account. Now Jacob has an ipod. The first morning Dan told him it was working, Dada told him at 5:15am, Jacob stayed up and played it all morning. I had downloaded minecraft for him the previous night.
We also figured out that we could Facetime and text Umma, Josh, Tanya and our ipad. Oh the joy in that alone! The boys are now obsessed with texting Umma. Now note they type about 1 word every 4 minutes but they still text. I figure it is good spelling and typing practice for them. Umma of course doesn't mind.
The kids have gone from staring at our big tv to the small ipad to an even smaller ipod screen. I believe they will be far sighted soon.
