A Price for a Smile c:

I went to the market today with Josh. He was not suppose to tag along with me but his dad had to write something in the computer and he did not want his little boy bothering him as he worked. Josh wanted to play computer games and he was crying for help.

I was supposed to leave him behind because I saw that his playmates had arrived and I wanted him to get tired from playing so he could sleep early later in the evening. But instead he ignored Kyla and Klint (his playmates) and started bothering his dad to let him play with the computer. He was not in the mood to play with them. His dad was starting to raise his voice and little Josh started to cry. So, to make them stop I had to bring Joshua with me to the market.

On the way to the market my little boy was still teary eyed and I can still see protest in his eyes. I joked around to make him smile but no smile for me. We passed by the store for flip-flops and saw some kiddie slippers. I decided to buy him a pair and he gets to choose the design. At first I liked the color but when I had my 2nd glance I noticed that it had a Power Puff Girls print on it. I convinced him to look for a boy cartoon character but he insisted. I had to give in and here's the picture of his flip-flops choice.

new

I guess the print wouldn't matter when he's wearing it because you wouldnot see it when it's worn. He has his old slippers anyway to be worn when he goes out and the new one for playing only inside the house. Sometimes there is a price for asking for a smile c:

My Son's New Playmate

My son's days in the last three weeks were quiet different from what he used to know. He's got a new playmate who is much much older than he is. His cousin Ez-J is visiting us for more than three weeks now. He is 16, my son is 3, but they get along together well. His older cousin has taught him where to find the best flash games from the internet. He also learned new numbers (the two digits) from his cousin.

How My Son Learned to Spell HIs Name

My son learned to spell his name a month before he turned three. I know of some kids who learned how to spell their names earlier than the time my son learned his but what makes my son's case different is that he learned it not in the traditional way. He learned to type his name because we made it necessary for him to type it. My son got into playing computer games quiet early and I accept the fact that he got quiet addicted to it. To put some control over the situation my husband decided to put an administrator password to our computer. A few days after the computer became password-protected my son suddenly developed a desire to learn how to spell his name. It just took two days for my son to learn how to type his name. After a week, my son regained his control over the computer--he could turn it on any time he wants and play games, so my husband changed the password by just adding to the password my son's second name. It just took a day for my son to learn how to type his second name. Now if you will ask my son to spell his name aloud he will just say "J, O, S, H, U, A spacebar D, A, N, I, E, L enter" That is how he spells his name aloud.
