A gift for the girls

Lamar and I have been very conscious about the fact that the girls' life is about to change drastically with the arrival of the new baby. We had been thinking of getting them something special to help occupy them while we are busy with the little one.

Lamar was walking around the store at work yesterday and came across a Wii. We are not a family that plays a lot video games, but we know that the girls enjoy them when they get to play at friends house. I know that we are a little behind the times with getting new technology, but the time felt right. The Wii came home with Lamar.

The girls were so excited when we gave it to them last night. Today Lamar got it all set up and the play began. We are just starting out with some sports games (go figure). Nora Beth surprised us all by her skill. She actually beat Lamar in bowling and Shianne in baseball! She was so excited to be playing a "big kid" game! Now, we did purchase this for the kids, but Lamar has spent more time with it than the two of them. So, who was this really for, Lamar?

  1. My parents got a Wii and the boys just love playing it. Have you tried hula-hooping?
