Wii are family.
Wii as performance art.
So the Wii continues to be a fun addition to our lives. Soen has really taken to it. We were bowling the other day and Soen, who was all hopped up on Craisins and showing off for his Uncle Devin, would throw the ball and yell, "Watch and learn, old man! Watch and learn!"
Sadie, on the other hand, likes to play the Wii because her brother does. But, being two, she doesn't totally get it. It's interesting to see what she can do and what is beyond her cognitive abilities. As you see in the video, she understands the Wii Fit board--that you have to lean in order to accomplish certain goals--even though she's not quite adept at it. But the other day we were golfing and she was totally unable to actually hit the ball. To do so requires holding down the A button while you swing the remote. Well, she can swing the remote and she can hold down the button but apparently she can't do both at the same time. Trying to get her to do so turned into somewhat of a maddening comedy routine and a rather grueling golf match. I guess for now she'll just stick with boxing.

I immediately could discern that Sadie is very graceful - real dancing talent is emerging when you discount the Wii. Soen keeps up this running monologue about how "it's his turn and what he's going to do and Sadie your done now" - distracting her.
But Soen's hip action is something John Travolta would envy!
Where's the "watch and learn old man" come from? Too funny! Thanks for the videos - keep 'em coming!
I can see that PAPA and I are going to have a lot to learn! love Dee Dee
I am planning to live on wii fit when I get there. Love you all.
