What do you want from your children (or from the children in your life, if you're chidless)?
I hope that this Christmas Eve, my now ten-year-old nephew puts down the Nintendo DS and interacts with us more. I know he's eager to play with the new games he finds under the tree, but I'd like my Christmas memories to include more than a view of the top of his head as he tries to reach the next level.

These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Hello "Gal",
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll get at least a little interaction from your nephew at Christmas--maybe some board games(the old fashioned kind?) after present opening??

My nieces & nephew are text fiends. It drives us all crazy.
ReplyDeleteI know a child like that. My nephew. He's always hooked into a game system or ipod.
