Birthday and The High Tech World

I cannot believe our one and only turned 6 yesterday.  Growing more into a young man everyday.

We had a break from the Options Homeschooling program because of Election Day, so we had a day out.  PW and I headed to Chick Fil A for Lunch.  We then headed out to a Western Wear store so he could get a pair of cowboy boots.  PW has been taking riding lessons and the boots with a heel on them will help that tiny foot stay in the stirrups better.

After getting a cool pair of boots we headed towards the prime destination of a 6 year old boy - Chuck E. Cheese's.  Dad met us there at 4:30 and PW enjoyed a few hours of games.  We headed home and PW opened presents.  He loved Star Wars Legos sent by one of his Aunt's and was jumping up and down when he opened his walkie talkie watches.  He's been talking about these since July. 

I quickly had decided they would probably not be on the list of options for his gift as they were a bit pricey.  However, DH (Dear husband), technological whiz, thought that they actually would come in handy.  PW could go out and ride his bike during homeschool breaks and I could know where he is at the push of the watch button.  Plus when we are at the farm in IL they would be great to use as well. 

So they were ordered and today they were fully enjoyed.  http://www.visionforum.com/boysadventure/productdetail.aspx?productid=61250&categoryid=20

PW went out to the cul-de-sac to ride his bike and after 15 minutes and a push to the wrist I said "PW time to come back for schooling."  He was back a few seconds later.   He's now out with friends down the street and I'll push that button in a few seconds to have him get cleaned up for dinner.  Ah the high tech world.
