My name is Mike. I love being a stay-at-home parent because, most of the time, I have no idea what I'm doing. Each day, I'm learning something new, I think (or I hope). I also do photography and, while my littles ones are asleep, digital artworks. Send me an email if you are interested in an digital artwork. I'll do one for you. |

Three things I love about Wii:
It develops eye-hand coordination.
It encourages movement in front of the TV.
It promotes perseverance when you lose; humility when you win.
What I don't like about Wii:
You need to let your kids play, too. Hmp.

(grin) Hubbers doesn't really like sharing the XBox or PS2 with the kids, either. We haven't gone Wii yet...

We just had our first Wii experience a couple of weeks ago and I have to admit that both my hubby and I are hooked! Neither one of us have really enjoyed "video games" but man I tell you ... that boxing match was the best exercise that I have had in eons! And here everyone in my family thought it was my husband who had the competitive streak ....

The more I hear about WII the more I want one, but I keep hearing how you have to buy accessories for each game if you want to play it right. I wouldn't have to let my kids play... they're 1 and 3. Better get one now before they are older!

LOL...the girls got it for Christmas and my five year old worked up to a mean game of tennis!
But I've told them that only Daddy is allowed to play boxing...
we had relatives over for my birthday and it was fun to see my husband and his brother battle it out with a game of Wii boxing!
