What is it with boys and their toys?? We got a Wii for Christmas for a family gift. We gave it to the boys, but obviously we knew that we would all enjoy it. I am not a big video game person at all, but there are some games that I really like. The New Mario Bros. is one of them. The boys’ favorite games right now at the lego games: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Batman.
When we first go the Wii set up and going, I was a little concerned that Tate would not be into it as much as Zane and that maybe this wasn’t the best gift for him. I was wrong. The child and his brother are obsessed. Every morning, the first question I get is, “Can we play Wii?” Usually Zane sends Tate to ask me. I am not sure if it’s because Zane knows that Tate can usually convince me that anything is a good idea or if he just knows that Tate will do whatever he says? lol! Funny how that works with siblings. Anyways, It is nice that the boys can play together and they usually get along for the most part while playing. They have their moments, but overall it has been a good thing for them. Especially since it takes team work, negotiation, communication, self-control and problem solving skills to play a game with someone who is on your team not against you!
Who enjoys the Wii the most though? It’s the big kid at our house—Travis! haha! The funniest thing about it for me to watch is Travis trying to play with the boys and him getting frustrated with them b/c they don’t want to do what he wants or they are just ‘playing’ and not trying to win! lol! Let’s just say–I think it is as good for Travis as it is for the boys! And it all gives me a good laugh! That’s definitely the best part!
