At just under 3 years old Kolton's world view of technology is vastly different from when I was his age. Even my 21 year old self couldn't have imagined all we can do and use our cell phones for. He knows how to navigate to his favorite games, apps, and music. "iPad" is in his vocabulary. I sometimes wonder about the things we use today that will be considered old fashioned in the future.
Once a week, when Kolton is in preschool, I go out for breakfast by myself. It's so wonderful just to sit there in peace and have a meal served to me without sticky, grabby, little fingers bothering me. Today I over heard two women having a conversation all about what a pain in the butt sending Christmas Cards is. And how Shutterfly will basically do the whole thing for you; even address and mail them if you are willing to pay for it. Since we are in the social media age I'm honestly amazed that we still do the photo card bombing during the holidays. Maybe this tradition will one day be extinct? But don't be surprised to see ours arrive in the mail this week!
Their conversation also reminded me of how hectic the holidays are and how I long to enjoy them as much as I did when I was a kid. Tonight I'm giving myself a Christmas break...buying cookies for the cookie exchange tomorrow and getting a manicure.
