I caught this candid shot yesterday - there is no way Chris would have LET me take a piccy of him cuddling his sister so I took it quickly!!!!
Yesterday Chris got his own cell phone! He was going to get one for his birthday - he goes to high school in the Fall and because it will be in downtown Edmonton, we said he could finally have his own cell phone. He's wanted one for ages. I don't agree with teenagers his age having one - I don't see the need or the point BUT he is paying for it - he is earning the money and he KNOWS that it remains a privilege that can and will be removed for bad behaviour. So with that in mind, he and his Dad went into town yesterday and got him his phone (after getting him to do all the research etc etc and he had to prove to us he had done all of that and then Lloyd and he went in and spoke to them all in the store).
Anyway, needless to say, Chris was one very happy bunny yesterday and his phone got a lot of use last night and to be honest there won't be much phone left by the end of the week because he will have polished much of it away!
I till don't agree with him having a phone but we will see how it goes - I do think it will be of benefit once he gets t high school - if it lasts that long - our children aren't known for being great at looking after small electronic gadgets.....nothing like that lasts in this house! So we shall see!
