Owen: "Climb up that ladder!"
Hazel: "AAUUUGH! Stop killing me!"
Owen: "Press A! Press A!"
Hazel: "I AM pressing A! It's not doing anything!"
Owen: "I won!"
Hazel: "Mooooommmmm! He's not letting me win!"
Me: "Turn it off."
And there you have it! We managed to all interact and bond this morning.

Well done, Lindsey! (Oh, my goodness. You do crack me up!)
THIS is why I don't ever want one of those! And b/c my brothers are hopelessly addicted and I've seen what it has done to their families.
you can take the most ordinary moment and make it funny! Too cute.
Can I just say that I love reading your blog?
Funny! I guess sometimes you take what you can get :)
what's great is that i can actually hear the inflection in your voice when you say "Turn it off."
i still have mine! (and i play it too!)
my word verfication today is extelies... sounds a little dirty...
another cofirmation that I have done the right hting as aparent/wife to NEVER buy a gaming device. We'll see how long it lasts...but I am gonna FIGHT!!!
just an FYI to everyone- this is Nathan's old school Nintendo. We will NEVER purchase a new gaming system of any kind. :) FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, CLAIRE!!!!!
Ah, yes. A woman of principle.
The next level of video game suppression is hiding the controllers.
As the children mature and their cognitive abilities improve, you will need to up the campaign; take the controllers with you to work in your purse.
The ultimate tactic (which I have done many times) is forgetting where you last hid them, and pointing them to a stack of library books instead.
Stay True. Stay Strong.
