iPhone Envy

I've wanted an iPhone ever since they came out and have REALLY wanted one since the iPhone 3G came out last summer but I can't upgrade until 1/9/09...this Friday! David, meanwhile, had been dithering for the last 18 months over what phone he wanted to upgrade to. After his trip to Amsterdam in November, he came home and said, "I've decided I want an iPhone." He said every other person in business class had one and were busy watching movies, playing games, and listening to music and he decided he wanted to be one of them. So he got one just before Christmas. And it's really cool. I knew I wanted one already but seeing one in action is that much cooler. And both of our children like it too. There is a lightsaber app that both kids love to use, it turns the iPhone into one that you can swing around and hear the sound effects. Thomas also loves playing a number of David's games, watching Horton Hears A Who!, and watching You Tube videos all on David's phone.

So, last night, we had dinner with David's uncle Rik who was in town for a conference. Thomas and I were sitting in the back row of the van and he asked David if he could borrow his phone. I told him that Daddy was busy talking to uncle Rik and that he could just play with my phone instead. He said, "Mommy, I don't want to play with your phone. It doesn't have any cool stuff on it!" I completely agree. Only two more days.... ;-)
