I know this may sound crazy, and some parents may criticize, but I love -- LOVE -- that my 9 year old has a cell phone. I get random messages throughout the day that say "I love you Mom" or "can I please have a cookie." Aside from wanting to know where she is, and what she's doing, it's a way for us to stay connected while I'm at work.
Sometimes, I get some pictures from her, too. Like this one, titled "Busted."
I've been wondering why my flowers have been laying flat. Now I know, thanks to Brielle and her camera phone.
Stinkin' pup.
But look at that cute face! It's hard to get mad when you've got such a sweet pup.
On Monday, I got this picture, titled "Ouch."
It's not very clear, but it most certainly is a bee sting.
A sting that has turned into this...
See that brown dot? That's where the little sucker stung her? I've never seen a sting that big before! Sad thing is, her whole arm hurts, her skin is hot to the touch and this pic is 3 days after the actually sting.
We may be paying a visit to the doc.
I know some are concerned with young kids carrying cell phones. I made a point to tell people it was my phone when were first got it, and that I just used it as a "home phone." Reality is, it's hers. She sends me sweet messages, calls me to check in throughout the day, and I use it to make sure she's safe.
Text messages from Brielle are the best messages I receive.
