Wii Mania

I know a lot of people don't like for their kids to play video games, fearing it will make them lazy and sedentary. However, I got a game for Josh for Christmas for the Wii that actually gives Bryce lots of exercise. The game is Mater National (from the Disney Pixar movie Cars) and Bryce loves it. Well, he won't actually play it, but he loves to watch others play it--and he "coaches" while they play. He gets very frustrated when they don't take the exact turn he wants or if whoever is playing doesn't do the game just the way he wants it done. :) It's funny to watch, that's for sure.

The kids were all here on Monday--Uncle Josh had come in for a doctor's appointment and Bryce had sent word for him "not to leave until he got to see him". So, we ordered pizza and all got together.

Here he is thinking he can move the car on the screen by moving his body. He gets so "into" this game. He loves it and hates it all at the same time.

Uncle Josh is a natural at video games, so he's usually willing to play the game for quite awhile for Bryce. Apparently here, Josh did something right--looks like Bryce is cheering him on!

By the end of the evening, Bryce's shirt was about a whole size bigger, the neck stretched out, chewed on and just a regular mess! He would get "nervous" about someone playing messing up and would chew on the neck of his shirt. He is so fun to watch when this is going on though--he's very intense about it!!It looks like Uncle Josh must have done something good here--look at that face! He's so fun. He did take a turn at playing and actually did pretty well. When Krista was younger, she would want to watch the others play a video game before she would want to play. So, maybe he's taking after her. He couldn't find a sweeter person to take after. ;) Well, she is so very sweet now!!

We had a fun evening on Monday. When Josh told Bryce it was time to go, he said "Hey, no one even played with me tonight".....I guess the video game was a work out, not playing. :) He's a great little man though and his nana loves him very much.

Oh, yeah, by the way, he came into church on Sunday morning saying something to himself, under his breath over and over. Jayme said "Bryce, remember what you were going to tell Nana?" He looked at me and sweetly said "N-A-N-A....I can spell your name!" My heart melted!!!
