Regretfully

In one of those brilliant, non-thinking parenting decisions, I decided it would be 'fun' and 'cute' to download some games for Miles on the iPhone. Little did I know, I would be inadvertently creating a monster. I now have to sneak out of his line of vision to pick up the phone or text, because if he sees or hears the phone, HE HAS TO PLAY WITH IT IMMEDIATELY. He's even figured out where I keep it hanging out during the day and walks over and signs please to play with it. Admittedly, kind of hard to resist. Especially since he loves, loves, LOVES it!
Brother, here I am with a 14-month old and I'm already considering screen restrictions. Which, if you know us, is kind of funny. We haven't had a cell phone for years and neither of us plays video games. The cell phone was a hand-me-down gift. Definitely more technology than I know how to handle.
I console myself by admitting that this is the world he's inheriting, technology out the yin-yang, so in reality, I'm doing him a favor, right? I figure I'll just ride the wave of it's newness and novelty and let him play. It's bound to wear off eventually.......and if it doesn't, well, we'll cross that bridge at a later date!
