Our kids have saved up their own money and bought themselves a Wii. That's what's going on at our house right now. As soon as noon gets here, which is the screentime end time on Saturday, they'll be in here begging for more time. I haven't decided if I'll give it to them or not. It's wet and rainy outside (AGAIN), so I may let them have a bit more. It's different from other video games in that it is at least a little bit active. They've got Wii sports and Wii play. I need to think of a plan for when they ask ... make them clean the house or something for more time. Hey, a mom's gotta get some benefit from this thing, right? Yesterday, before I'd let them go shopping with their Dad for it, I made them find a library book that they had lost and was overdue!
We love our Wii. I got Wii Fit and have done it every day for almost 6 months.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I don't like about the Wii is the Miis sportsmanship. They need a little better attitude. They get all depressed when they lose a game. The dance just a little too happily when they win. Not what an overly sensitive kid needs. She's crushed when her Mii is unhappy.
