| When I see this picture I think "how on Earth was James in the 25th percentile at his weigh in at 4 months. Look at the chub. I'm pretty sure his little waist is way, way bigger than his brother's. In fact, he probably almost weighs the same as Patch now. At the very least he's gaining on him. |
Long after he went to bed I checked my email and saw two notifications from Amazon.
Now perhaps I should preface this by saying that a few hours earlier I'd been patting myself on the back over the fact that it seemed that Patch was finally locked out of buying new Team Umizoomi movies on my account.
I'd long since disabled One Click, and made sure that no passwords were remembered anywhere. I'd even talked to a representative about it on the phone and she congratulated me on figuring it out after he bought a season of Paw Pals (which he's never seen...).
After that it was a while before he got his little mitts on the Kindle again... but he was so sad and tearful I would have done just about anything to cheer him up and handing over the Kindle so cheers him up.
Hours after he went to bed I found two emails saying that he'd bought Team Umizoomi: Meet Shark Car (oh that is so, so Patch) and an episode from season 3. I was able to quickly refund the single episode, but when I went to try to do the same with the Meet Shark Car I found that he had apparently already watched most of it.
This morning when he woke up and had taken ibuprofen and was feeling well enough to cheer up a bit I looked at him and said "Patch, what happened last night with Team Umizoomi?"
He looked at me and said in his sweetest voice (with a guilty little smile on his face): "Oopsie!"
Later in the day he continued his explanation by telling me: "Zoomi! Uh oh! Oh no!"
I did figure out where I'd made my mistake (you can turn off One Click, but you have to turn it back on to turn off One Click on all devices) and he is now completely locked out of purchasing new episodes of his favorite shows.
I think.
My youngest dd has the use of an iPhone for traveling to and from school on public transit. (she's 12) but in the fall I when I was reveling in the love of iCloud and being able to find her locations; she was happily downloading games that led to a Bell Mobility bill of $250! So we had to disable the data on the phone. Now she can text or use it as a phone or have a few limited games that are installed on the phone. That's it. But of course iCloud doesn't work anymore. (but no more surprise bills) So maybe in the fall we'll try again to put the data back on..... probably not. It works as a phone and the issue was being able to call in an emergency. Being able to track was nice but not essential. Downloading games? Definitely not essential! LOL
ReplyDeleteHope you've got it all locked down and nailed. That Patch is an interesting kid. Reminds me of stories about my uncle who was a genius at electronics even before electronics were anything to be a genius in.
Now I have that shark car song stuck in my head :P
