My iPhone

I never thought I would need/want an iPhone. I always believed that a phone should be a phone, a camera should be a camera, and the internet/emails should be left to the computer. That is until my husband secretly bought me an iPhone for our two-year anniversary (11.12.07). I'll admit, I was completely unappreciative of it at first, not thinking that I needed all these new functions. I thought having emails so handy would mean I could never get away from my work, when I was already on my computer enough.

But it turns out I love my iPhone and it’s going to be one of those things I can’t live without, and that’s okay because I am not dependent on it (not yet =P). It’s great to be able to check emails (set at every 15 minutes automatically =P) so that I don’t have to run to my computer and check it all the time. I can be free from sitting in front of my laptop and run errands and never be worried that I’ll miss a client.

Plus, I am addicted to You Tube! You can find all kinds of videos on there, SO easily, and it’s been such a new concept that my husband and I have stayed up past 2AM just watching videos of Raymond Lam, Charmaine Tse, Linda Chung, etc. If it had full episodes of our current Chinese soap opera, then we’d be set, and maybe then, I’d be dependent on my iPhone. =P

So if you don’t have an iphone, your phone is so out…that’s what I tell my husband all the time! =P But once you have it, you can’t go back. I can’t even imagine using my Sony Ericsson anymore. =P

PS. Of course I jinx-ed myself (see last posting). He napped all day that day, but yesterday, was a big struggle. I just won't mention n-a-p-p-i-n-g anymore. =P

He naps more than ever now (every mom's dream)!

Somehow we got into this routine and it’s great! He would wake up at around 8, eat, play for an hour, then nap for an hour or two. Then at 11:30ish, he'd wake up, eat, play for an hour, then nap for another hour or two...and repeat... But this only works flawlessly if we are at home/work by ourselves, without any interruption. If I take him out running errands with me, it's harder to get him to fall asleep. I do feel bad for robbing him of his naps, but I swore I would never be one of those moms who purposely stays at home or has to go home by a certain time so that he can nap.

We’re staying at home today and I’m working during his naps. Of course this is not going to work today because I’ve said this. (Every mom knows once we proclaim it, it'll jinx itself...but I'm crossing my fingers!)
