Santa brought Noah a Wii. He's logged more hours on that bad boy than he has in school so far. Boxing day (12/26) he put over 12 hours on it. He's cut back since then, but I think he's addicted to it. And keep in mind, he only plays one game: Lego Star Wars.
We had a family "bowling" night the other day - after dinner, we all went downstairs and Jen, Emma, Noah and I played a full set of frames. Noah, with his "spastic child" technique, came in first, followed by me, Jen and then Emma. I'm not sure, but I think I've finally gotten Jen at least partially "into" the Wii - she seemed to have a lot more fun doing that than she did trying to do the "Big Brain Academy" game we played. That was probably not the best first game for her - in addition to the puzzles, she was trying to figure out how to use the controls. Not easy.
In other Christmas related news, Santa brought the kids, among other things: Nintendo DS, two American Girl dolls, a tricycle, and lots of other bibs and bobs. Jen got some nice jewelry and a new set of cookware (thanks Aunt Bean!) and I got some nice new shoes and the Simpsons movie. I think everyone had a good time all around.

The above was written on or about Jan. 2, when I had meant to post it. Clearly things got busy - when are they not? Since then some things have changed, but some haven't - Noah logged over 9 hours on the Wii during yesterdays "snow day". The boy was, of course, upset when told to turn it off and spend some time reading.
