Where is your child right now?
Oh Boy. My little boy is growing up. Can I tell you where he is right now? Talking on the phone. For the second night - in a row! Last night he was on the phone for an hour!! Even when we went to eat he switched over to my cell phone! What am I going to do? Today we get home and the first thing he wants to do is call Josh. Oh.....
Funny story - my son is a routine child. He likes his routine and seems a bit out of sorts when I change it on him. Scott normally calls him every single day. Scott was out of town so Tyler didn't talk to him for like 4 days! I thought Tyler was probably bothered by it but he never said a word to me about it. So needless to say I was thinking that Tyler was really anxious to talk to Scott. So yesterday Scott calls and he wants to talk to Tyler and Tyler gets on the phone and I hear Scott tell him that he is going to come over and play with him. Normal response: "OKAY!!" Last nights response: "Well dad, I really just need to have some time to myself!" So when he got off the phone I asked him why he didn't want his dad to come over and play and he said, "Well I just finished a lot of homework and I really just need to have some time to play and then I need to call Josh." OK - the child ditched his dad to make a phone call. It's only a matter of time until he does the same to me!!
