I won't bother myself thinking from whom did my son Jian got his love for gadgets... he surely got that from his Dad and Lolo Cris. =)
My Papa ever since doesn't invest on techie things. My brothers, on the other hand, would love to have the latest gizmos but Papa and Mama wouldn't give them... And neither did they took a lot of thrifty moments just to spend for these items, instead, they just shrug their shoulders and wait 'til they graduate to buy these things from their own hard-earned money. But my son Jian would have a different story.=)
I might be a considerate Mom as Jian grows up but all I wanted is for him to have a different story to tell. I wouldn't be buying everything he wants and definitely wont keep him thirsty for such rather would want him to have some and learn how to value such techie things. I know he's still young to take care of the gadgets we've got, but I want him to get hold of those even for a a couple of minutes, for him to scrutinize each of it. I know there's something he'll learn from the things he gets hold of rather than me saying no and keeping every item he yearns to touch.
Jian is one fine and witty baby boy. At a young age, turning 1 year and 8 months old on the 16th, I observed that he is indeed like me in learning - A Visionary. I show him things and tell him what they are, I will do something and tell him what I was doing and I instruct him how to do something by doing it first then he'll copy me with no sweat! And even if we did not teach him how to turn my lappy or his dad's desktop PC on and off, he already knew how to do it! Thanks to his very keen observation...hahaha And we cannot keep ourselves angry for what he always does. We just can't help but praise him for learning on his own. Oh! He never fails to amuse us!
Jian always makes me so proud! But still, these techie things costs a fortune so still, I manage to get it in exchange for a toy or a book after a while. Sometimes he throws my cellphone just before he hands it to me. As a mild punishment, he always gets "That's bad Jian!" words and my big angry stare. But then, it never stops me lending it again to him. I always keep in my heart and mind that there's no such expensive or whatever things that can surpass the knowledge that my Jian would get on the things he can freely and lovingly explore of. (Aside from the thought that I greatly love him more than any expensive gadgets or appliances at home! wink*) It's just a matter of taking caution (if he doesn't like it anymore, he would surely throw it in an instant), giving lotsa patience (when he still wants it, he would give the loudest cry but you really have to take it away already, it takes tender, soothing and loving words to make him understand) and being in control (you're the parent and you have to teach him to be obedient even at a young age). But of course, every parent- mom and dad have their own perspective on how to raise their child in such aspect. But for me and hubby, we settle for this. Anyway we too wanted to have a few more gadgets at home and want to share everything with Jian... So... Wii anyone??? =D
