Elias got a Tamagotchi<\/a> (v4 – the latest which can connect via Infrared to others and to “Tamatown<\/a>” on line via codes) a while back. I dismissed it for nearly a month – telling Elias to take care of it when it whined (beeped), and never really read the instructions.<\/p>\n

Well, his first Tamagotchi (HOT A) died. Nearest I can figure, it grew up and didn’t find a mate via connecting, so the ugly ol’ matchmaker showed up. I kept thinking it was his Tamagotchi that got old like that and thought “who would be attracted to this thing?”. Anyway, because it didn’t find a mate, it died. What surprised me was that I actually got a little sad.<\/p>\n

So by fumbling around with combinations of the three buttons, we hatched a new one (IOT A) on Friday while we were at REI. Elias watched her over the weekend, but today he didn’t want to take it to school. So rather than putting her on pause (a nice feature of the newer models), I spent the day “caring” for her. It’s still a toddler, but it’s been pretty happy. Right now it’s sleeping on my desk.<\/p>\n

I think my goal it to get it to actually have an hatch an egg.<\/p>\n

I’m just afraid that next I’ll move onto the @)*(# Nintendogs<\/a> that Ruben bought.<\/p>\n

Update: Elias lost the Tamagotchi. We were up to generation 3, a little dude we called Matt (gen 2 was Elias), he paused it and took it to school to play with it during his after school care. He doesn’t know where it is and we’ve looked all over. I only hope it’s still paused in case we ever do find it.\u00c2\u00a0 I think Elias needs to lo-jack his stuff the way he loses it…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
