Wordless Wednesday!! ~My Fake Grandbaby!~

Last weekend, my son Justin, had an electronic doll at home that is programmed to act somewhat like a real baby. Its called "Baby Think it Through." It was for his parenting class at school. He named him Nicholas Cage Boakes.

 He had to wake up at all hours of the night to tend to his baby.  I was slightly amused by it as I remembered the real thing!  The baby is programmed to need 4 specific things, changing, feeding, burping or rocking.  Like a real baby, you have to figure out which one it needs. Each time it would start to cry he had to swipe his daddy bracelet to the sensor on the back of the doll so it would record that he tended to it, then he had to try the bottle to see if it wanted to drink or rocking it, or burping it or trying the diaper to see if it needed changing.

Justin did very well.  He scored a 98% on the print out that it gave to tell how he did.  I think that the "think it through" part works well.  I am happy to say, that even though he scored high, he doesn't want to have a real baby to deal with any time soon!

Wordless Wednesday!!

My niece Brooke, is totally into Spiderman.  She is turning 4 on June 9th.  Her and I have been having a little bit of banter about who is going to marry him, me or her.  She's said I can marry Peter Parker but she will marry Peter (I think she doesn't quite get that they are the same person..lol) SO..I sent her this picture.

Its my face, instead of Mary Jane's. I made it on on the website faceinhole.com.  I sent it to her mom's email address and Brooke wasn't pleased.  She told me that I couldn't marry him because she was.  So, to make her happy, I made her another picture.

I got to hear everything because we were on the telephone when she got the pictures!  It took her a minute to realize it was her face.  She gasped and said, "Is that me? When Im a grown up?" and her mother told her "yes!"  Then she says, "I look great!"  So, she thinks that when she grows up, she is going to marry Spiderman!  Oh, to be 4 again! By the way, she told me I get to marry the Green Goblin, then changed her mind.  I can marry Harry.  Peter's best friend.  Lucky me!

Wordless Wednesday!

The grocery store in a little town in Northern Ontario was giving away these Poinsettias a couple of weeks after Christmas.  So naturally when I saw that it was free, I helped myself to one.  Who doesn't like free stuff right?  Well, I seriously thought that it wouldn't have lasted the week, but today is May 16th and it is still alive!!  Who knew?  I bet if I had actually bought one, it would have died already. Now I have high hopes that it will keep going until Christmas.  Its very healthy so I bet it will!
