If you can't beat 'em, join 'em....

Although most know when grand girls come

here we don't watch much tv and only get on 

Ipads at night or first thing in the morning.

As Jilly told me her Daddy said that is like

her cup of coffee...

I like that analogy.

I know its a different world they live in

and I know that technology, internet, game playing 

on Ipads is and will be in their lives.

Kudo's to their parents and Guilbeaux grandparents

for making sure what they are on is safe and 

monitored. 

That sets up where I am going with this blog.

Jilly and JoJo love Roblox.

A game where you can go into different places

and play with others.

Two night ago, Sunday, Jilly face timed me and

asked me to play roblox with her.

One, I love that now at 8, she can FaceTime me

when she is on her iPad. I love that I actually have

a Roblox account because of them.

So she is at her home and I at mine, we

minimize our FaceTime but stay connected

and we play Farm land Roblox together.

Yes, I may be too old to be playing games but

she loves teaching me as she goes along,

building her farm. I get to see JoJo and Jemma

on FaceTime as they come in to talk and watch

us play. A new connection with the grandgirls.

I always remind them, listen to Momma and Daddy's rules

and don't give Mom no trouble or I will stop playing with

her. I also have found myself, even after she tells me 

goodnight, I continue to play. It has taught me how

to grow crops, take care of the animals I buy by 

selling the fish I catch or the gardening I do.

It really is a site that teaches some responsibilities to

children. Not all Roblox sites are like this, 

but this one is fun and more so because I get to 

share a little time with the girls even when they are not here.

So, if you are looking for a way to  mix

into the world of the children of this era, 

look into this. I am beginning to look forward

to the FaceTime calls saying,

"Mumsie, if Momma lets, can we play Roblox?"

Yes, my sweet girls, when I can I will.

a novice, I have lots to learn from them)
