Pulling At My Heart
Eli likes to call people on the cell phone. He is always asking to call his cousins. He was at Grandma’s yesterday and asked Grandma to call me while I was getting some work done. She put him on the phone, and Eli says to me “Mommy I want to go home. I want to go home Mommy.” This tore at my heart. It was the first time he had called me to say he wanted to go home. Usually he loves to play at Grandma’s with his little sister Isabel.
Later in the day Eli and I were home. Eli wanted to go upstairs with me. I didn’t really want to go upstairs. Eli told me “Let’s go upstairs NOW. Let’s go upstairs NOW.” Sometimes I play around and emphasize the words “right now”as a commemoration to my father, who passed away four years ago. When he wanted something done, he’d raise his voice and say “right now”. This meant he meant business. So, now Eli has caught on to this. Funny how the generations are connected and the memories kept alive. If only Dad could meet Eli and see the joy he brings.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
