Cords

As I've mentioned before, Chase is (and always has been) completely obsessed with all electronic devices.  In particular, he loves cords, phones, computers, radios, DVD players and cameras.  He doesn't discriminate, so really anything with buttons and a place to plug a cord into will suffice.

It's kind of funny but lately it's just mostly annoying.  Because.  The more electronic devices we let him play with (old phones, old chargers, etc.), the more he asks for.  "Where's Bebe's old phone??" (that would be the blackberry pictured above) "Where's Dada's old phone??"  The funny part happens when he finds an old cord that fits in something that we had no idea would work.  Like our Jamaican phone charger that fit into Matt's GPS (otherwise known as the 'BTS').

All this is usually fine...IF we can locate what he's asking for.  But usually what he's asking for is at the bottom of the toy box...or hidden in one of my purses upstairs...or plugged in to Matt's old playstation upstairs...You get the idea.  It's completely MADDENING.  And this past weekend, it got to out of control I had to say "NO MORE CORDS.  NO MORE PHONES.  I'M PUTTING THEM UP.  PLAY WITH YOUR OTHER TOYS."

I know.  I'm mean.  But seriously.  Who has to say that?  Does this mean my child is going to be an engineer?  Who knows.  But what I do know is that he could possibly be more technologically advanced by age 4 than I am now.
