Simple answers…

One of the gifts from Christmas that still has Sam’s attention is his Leapster. I don’t remember who gave it to him, but he still loves it. He loves it so much that it’s started to get him in trouble. If he happens to wake up a little early he will turn on his Leapster and play quietly in his room. While I think this is great because he’s staying quiet in his room and not disturbing me or Evan, it screws up his afternoon and makes him very irritable by dinner time.The other thing that’s happened is he is burning through batteries. To the point Holly got to wondering how much he was playing with his Leapster.

She asked, ‘Sam, how much are you playing with your Leapster?’

Sam looked up at her and in a tone that screamed Duh, he said ‘Well… a lot.’ And then looked back up at her like you should know this.

The teen years look to be very interesting.
