The Boat and a Tablet

A couple of weeks ago, Finn got his suitcase out.  I thought he wanted to go somewhere; he really just wanted to play.  He set it out and loaded it up with all sorts of things.  He got in it and said it was his boat.

Last week an order came from Amazon.  He quickly grabbed  the box and claimed it as his new boat.

 

   

The other day Finn told me he wanted to take a nap on the couch.  I couldn't believe it.  He went and did this...

                                     
Anyone who knows much about Finn's sleep patterns knows that we are the extremist of co-sleepers.  It was amazing for him to take a nap without me laying down to get him to sleep. I was so proud of him/sad/happy/ not sure how I feel.

Last week Tosh ordered me (or as he says, "us") a tablet.  When it arrived I sent him a message saying, "What is this? It is a giant phone."  I am not into technological advances. I would just as soon someone bring me an old desktop. Or better yet, a notebook and a pen and some stamps. All these different gadgets, tablets, netbook, notebook, blah, blah just doesn't do it for me.

 Tosh's response to my "why do we have this giant phone?" was "You are too young to be such and old fogey." I told him  I hated touchscreen.  The message I got back said, "GET OFF MY LAWN."

 

That evening I messed around on this "awful piece of technology" for a few hours only to find that I flippin love it.  What did I ever do without my tablet?  Tosh was right.  Tosh was right. Tosh was right.  It is cool. It is fun. Touch screen is not too bad once you get the hang of it.  I still do not feel confident enough on it to facebook stalk anyone because I am afraid I will accidentally  poke them.

So all in all I am glad my husband is bringing me into the next century. Maybe someday I will use Pandora or whatever it is these days.

**Tosh and I have discussed touchscreen at length for weeks, if not months.  I vowed I would always hate it.   He swore I would love it.
