Playing Wii

video

Something really cool is happening as the boys get older. It's not like it is something new, or unique to them, but it is new for me. They are returning to things that used to be too complex or too hard, and now able to master them. Case in point, the Wii.

Before, if the boys saw me play a video game, they would want to play but be unable to master the controls. But the Wii has games specifically made for little kids, ones that guide them through how to play in easy steps. Plus, and the importance of this can't be overstated, the motion controller of the Wii remote makes it so much easier and intuitive to play games that it has to be seen to be believed.

Here is a video of Gavin playing a Dora game for your viewing pleasure...
