Four year old up for adoption… free of charge.

So yesterday was an interesting day.

I came into the living room to find a new masterpiece on our living room wall by Zack.

Then later (after cleaning it up) he asked if he could play a game on the Wii.

Fine by me I thought, a little peace while Max has his nap.

Only the disc wouldn’t go all the way in the drive.

I shook it around a little and nothing came out.

Zack piped up that he put a wall hook in it because he “thought it would feel safer in there”.

Cue me seeing and telling him to get to his room (before I exploded).

So, the Wii is bust.

“Santa” just sent us his (replacement) DS for his Christmas and now I’m wondering whether to give it to him at all, since he is in one of those phases.

On the other hand, I really just need to keep it somewhere he definitely can’t get it and make sure that it’s something he only plays with while I’m there to supervise.

Now I know this will make me out to be the Bad Mother, but I was hoping that he could play it during times when I needed a little peace. You know, showering, cooking his dinner, changing Max’s bum. But obviously that can’t happen.

So… do I keep the DS and see how it pans out over Christmas and if he’s been good enough to get it, send it back to the store, or keep if for a time when he is a little more mature and less likely to drop it in the toilet? (oh you didn’t hear about that? yeah, that’s what happened to his last DS).

In conclusion…

Healthy four year old male for adoption to good home.

Will supply clothing and his favourite toys.

Will pay well.

Any offers??
