Bought My Oldest Daughter An Android For Christmas
 
I bought my oldest daughter a Samsung android phone for Christmas & she has discovered "texting." I don't think she knows it is actually a phone as well.
The rules we have are, one, she owns it but we control the use of it.
If she gets an attitude or it iterferes with her school or chores--she can lose the use ot it.
Two she can not take it into her room at night alone--that is when it is charged in the living room.
Three, I and her mom know her password to her email & she knows that at anytime that I or mom could check her texts or phone.
She is a good girl & she is quite open with us in sharing stuff & also bringing to our attention something that may seem out of the ordinary.

She went away to the bathroom while she was texting a classmate named Emma who has come to Church.

I picked up the phone and was feeling like having fun.

Her: I have to take the homstay students on a tour.
Me: (who she thinks is Kristin) Well, keep them away from McDonalds.
Her:Why?
Me: They don't use Chicken in the nuggets.
Her: What, I don't get it?
Me: That ain't Chicken in your Chicken chow mein!
Her: I don't get it.
Me: Cat Chow Mein?
Her: Oh, Lol! Yuck!
Kristin comes back & she was trying to convince her it was her dad & Emma was trying convince her it realy was her!:happydance

Yup, what fun I'll miss when the kids move out!

She has unlimited talk & text & global text--so she goes at er!

An Ipod? We gave that to our 13 year old daughter last fall on her birthday!

I bought a Kindle Fire when they came out a little over a year ago and I love it. This past September I bought my granddaughter a Nabi tablet for her 4th birthday after I found she was a whiz and finding angry birds on my kindle!

The nabi is for kids with all kinds of games, educational programs, music, videos, etc but an adult can use a password to get underneath the kid friendly electronic "skin" and use it as a regular tablet It even has a quad core processor!

I bought oldest for Christmas 2011 a Kobo reader. It is a Canadian company based in Toronto & it is a pretty good ereader.
She is an avid reader & reads about 5-10 books a week!!:thumbsup
