Since Matthew got his cell phone last Friday, I have been the lucky recipient of hundreds of text messages that say…
Hi
I usually text him back, and ask questions (and secretly think I am helping him read better). He called me several times for a few days, and then I didn’t hear from him at all until yesterday…he had dropped the phone and it stopped working for a while. I took pics of our convo from a few days ago…but yesterday’s was probably funnier since it was interspersed with phone calls and school shoe shopping, and talking about his birthday.

Should a 7 year-old have a phone? I don’t care–I love it.
It must be good practice for reading?
Short fitness update: The rain is putting a small damper on the number of walks I can take, but it is also encouraging me to do more yoga. I took one day off from my every-hour-activity (Monday), and maybe this is unrelated, but I was super tired by the afternoon.
Hope you’re having a great week!
Can I just say I LOVE this experiment that you’re doing? It’s always interesting how working out gives you more energy… I would say maybe you are proving it doesn’t always take much, even something as simple as a walk can help you feel more energetic.
That made me smile 😉
Kids are too funny. My younger brother lives in Arizona and I live in Washington so he will sporadically text me very similar dialog. He is 11. Darn that rain, but yoga is great! Good way to get some strength training in!
I post from my phone so I never know if my face pops up with my comment. So this is my comment I am replying on.
I laughed out loud several times during this post. “Hi” What a doll. Thanks for the smile on a dreary day!
Awwwwwww. He’s precious! I love this!!!
Love the texting conversation!!! It’s nice that you will have that instant contact with him 🙂
Haha this cracks me up
Too cute! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a 7-year old with a phone =)
Hi
🙂
How. Cute. Is. This!??? LOVE it!!!
so who knows whether it’s right or wrong for a 7 year old to have a phone…the best is that matthew WANTS to be in touch with you. i love the “i love you” – does that not just warm your heart so much! my niece made me a drawing with “i lov you” (sic) and it makes me smile every time i look at it! i love the special bond that you and matthew have – and that you can be goofy together!
it’s freezing and fall-ish up here. wah!
hi
AWWW MAN, Holly was first with the clever!! 😉
this is so SO cute. I may have to redact my first answer…
Ok so I still think 7 is too young but if those are the types of messages then it is so worth it. That is the cutest ever!!
love the text messages 🙂 too cute. Gary and I have similar conversations!
awww that is so cute!!! My little brother is 8 and is begging my Mom for a cell phone, so if he gets one I can expect messages like that too!
Those messages are adorable! And I agree, anything that gets kids reading more is well worth it!
So cute! I have a texter in my life like that! 🙂
this is so adorable!! you are totally helping him read 🙂
This made me LOL!
This is so adorable, brought a smile to my face 🙂
Hahaha this is precious in so many ways 🙂
