Son's first watch that is his!

He is always wanting a watch as he keeps picking up dad's, much to dad's fear. You see he is 3.

So, while my wife was at the store one day, my son saw a red angry birds watch. I wasn't there and my wife bought it for him. Like $5. He was excited. I was not! What was my wife thinking???? I'm the watch guy! I buy all the watches in the house! The thing gets reset each time you press any of the buttons. It is always flashing and already falling apart after a week.

So, I convinced him to lose the non-handed watch. I went and got him one.

Yeah, its a little big, but it actually tells the time and tough as nails. He never takes it off. Eat, Sleep, Play, Bath. Always on for a week now. I did manage to get it off his wrist last night to give it a scrub with an old tooth brush.

He LOVES it. Dad is proud.

Awesome. My 13 month old daughter seems to be interested in watches. She's always chewing on my G-shock as well as my dad's. Yep, mom's Baby G isn't safe either. May need to get her one in a couple of years.

Bring 'em up right! Nice.
