We asked you what you wanted one for, since you don't really like to play with the iPad like Aidan does.
You said you wanted one - even one that doesn't work- to buy a pretty case for and play pretend with.
I offered you one of the near-dead iPads. But you didn't want one of those. You wanted a silver tablet...to play pretend with.
A few days passed.
Then, your Mom and I were talking in the kitchen when a scroll appeared on the counter.
What was inside was 100% written, spelled, and conceived by you. And took us by surprise!
Your tactics sound, your motivation clear, your cuteness and puppy-dog eyes off the charts...
...your mother came up with a great idea: you could MAKE one.
And so, the weekend came and you got right to it. You chose not to walk the dogs or go to the playground, because you wanted to stay home and work on your tablet. All day Saturday you spent working with Mommy: cutting, paper mache, drawing, coloring, gluing, researching...and you created your very own, amazingly awesome, Julia-imagination powered TABLET!
Candy Crush, Netflix, Amazon, Calendar, Disney oh MY!
You were so careful in which apps you wanted.
You picked "Tuesday the 5th" for your calendar because "Tuesdays are when Aunt Sham used to pick me up from school and we had so much fun. Tuesdays are the best.!"
Later that week on a walk you asked me if I had my phone. I said no. You said "Good thing I put the phone and text messages on my Tablet!"
Saturday afternoon you spent your allowance and ordered a pink tablet case to go along with it!
Saturday night at dinner you came up to mommy with a concern: the case will prop the tablet up horizontally...but the tablet screen won't automatically re-orient itself. So Mommy suggested that you make a NEW horizontal-oriented tablet screen on the back of the tablet you already made.
You were so gung-ho about it that you spent a lot of Sunday morning and Monday afternoon hard at work!
And you even inspired Aidan to work on one too!
You are so creative, so dedicated, so driven, and so amazing, young lady! There's an app for all that: it's called Julia version 5.0!
I love you, amazing girl.
