We strive for equality, haha. So, I ordered T a handheld game v-smile thingamajig like her brother had. I found a used one on ebay with a little mermaid game, and it was a pink and purple one!
So, in the mail yesterday was her surprise! She adores it, even though she really needed help from J on how to use it. We had to be really cautious with her too, because J would swindle her out of it easily, so for the first night we told him she was the only one who could play it, even though she was more than willing to share.
Turns out I bought a newer version, which has a larger screen. Ugh. Now J says he needs a newer one, too.
Oh, our struggles with equality...
This morning his bus broke down.. again! Thank the Lord his bus driver is super nice and called my cell phone. I drove out and met her on her route, broke down and with a maintenance truck by her side. Hopefully J wasn't very late to school.
Also this morning when I dropped T off at her daycare it was the first time she cried and protested, yelling, "Mommy don't leave!" She has really been incorporating the "Momma,Mommy & Dad,Daddy" recently. The teacher had to physically drag her back into the classroom.. and I smiled on the inside.. is that bad?
We went through the same thing with the Nintendo DS thing here. Wanted newer ones, etc. I'm hyper paranoid about being fair and no matter how hard I try, they find a way to say "it's not fair". To which I respond, ala my parents, "Life's not fair and it's better you learn it from". Oddly enough, they seem to take that ok. I tell them it is better coming from me now than 10 years from now from someone mean like a boss. Oh well. Haha.
