• Wii Kids

  My kids still love me best, but they want to do everything their Daddy does. We’re both loving every moment as long as it lasts. John got a Wii some months back, and has been working on getting his pro status ever since. Anna Kathryn begs and pleads to play too, and knows if her wii-mote is really connected to a player or not, so he can’t trick her into taking a spare one and “playing” along. Recently, we had a friend (JD) over who has a Wii also. He agreed to a boxing match with Anna Kathryn. Her boxing style is so funny, we tried to get it on video. The video we did get was later into the game and she was tired, but multiply her motions by about five and that’s how she started out. It was way funnier watching her than the television! Notice the short shot of JD, calmly kicking her behind without breaking a sweat! (I think she got him once, though.)

  William and Stephen wanted in on the action, badly. William kept grabbing anything that looked remotely like a wii-mote, and Stephen followed suit with a a PS2 game controller. They gestured wildly at the screen just like their big sister.

  And that’s an evening’s entertainment in our family. Oh, how far we’ve come!!
