Jaron's First Cell Phone

Yesterday Josh and I broke down and decided to get Jaron his very own cell phone. I know, he's a little young to have one, I was 18 before I had my own, but we were already planning on getting him one when he started middle school in a couple years. Our cell phone company is running a promotion right now where kids are free until 2012, which is a great deal and it will be super cheap for him after that.

Jaron had no idea that we got him a phone because Josh got an early Christmas present (his own new fancy phone) and he thought the bag was just Josh's stuff. When he opened it, well, you can see the excitement on his face...



Here's a close up look at Jaron's new phone, pretty cool huh?


With Jaron having a cell phone comes a lot of responsibility on his end. He already got the lecture from us about all the rules that go along with this privilege. It will be nice to have something fun to hold over his head if he's not listening or doing what he's supposed to be doing, plus it will give us some peace of mind knowing that he will have a way to get a hold of us in case of an emergency. That, to me, is worth it!
