My children are growing up and their grandparents are acutely aware of it. Today, kids communicate totally differently than they used to a few years ago. A friend told me recently he will send his daughter a text message to tell her to come downstairs to dinner…and they are in the same house. My mother often asks for images of the kids or what they are up to when she calls on the weekend. Working a full-time job, I don’t often have many “exciting” pictures to share that are different from the week before. At least, I don’t have them to share from my perspective. Recently, I picked up the Walmart Family Mobile Nokia Lumia 521 phone for my two younger children because of the Unlimited Talk Text and Data/Web. This is perfect for keeping in touch with family.
What I liked about the plan is I can select unlimited text, talk and data plans based on what works best for my family. I also liked how easy it was to quickly activate the phone and get it up and running. Within minutes of activating the phone, the kids had learned their way around the phone and were sending messages and pictures to various members of the family. I received messages from the grandmothers tickled by the silly messages from my son and daughter.
There is nothing like seeing the world from the eyes of a child. Their take on the everyday is way more entertaining than an adult’s point of view. Plus, I know my mom and mother-in-law love hearing directly from the kids about the adventures they are having. Everyone stays connected and we are having fun while we do it.
