I am creating a monster

This past week we suffered through our first significant snow of the winter season.

Here are some pictures









While we were all snowed in Thursday Lex told Lisa and I he wanted to play a video game. So we put on Wii sports and let him have a shot at Wii bowling. Well Wednesday when we played didn’t go so well. Naturally for a 3 year old he had some difficulty with the concept of releasing the button when it was time to let the ball go.

On Thursday due to the storm Lex and I had some time and he wanted to try again. He was a bit better at it but still didn’t get it yet. So on Friday when I came home from work he asks me if we can bowl. So we create a Mii for Jack and then the four of us bowled against each other. To be fair we let Lex bowl as Jack. Well, I saw the light bulb go off in Lex’s head and he has gotten bowling down. He ended up bowling a 186 as his high score (my high score is a 177). Everyone tells me that it will be tough when your kid starts to beat you at things, but I was having so much fun with him it did not bother me at all he will be able to destroy me in Wii Bowling.

After that game we then went into Wii Sports Resort, where he started to play the jousting game. He figured it out pretty quickly how to play and did surprisingly well. This actually led to me taking the below video.



I am never getting rid of this video by the way. Finally, he wanted to try golf.

So on the second tee (a par 3) he hit the ball 12 feet away from the hole. He then putted like Happy Gilmore. I was waiting for him to yell at the TV and tell the ball to just go to his home.

It was such a fun day… And I am sure I have created monster. Now I just need to teach him how to play Madden.
