Wii Games

Two weeks before the actual Christmas, we decided to open all of the Christmas gifts from Santa Claus. We thought it would be easier for us to practice Wii games before we leave for our two week vacation.

A night before Santa Claus arrived two weeks early, David was "helping" Santa Claus' helper, Evan Elf to set up the Wii games before Dylan and Ryan woke up. He and Santa Claus' helper worked together until 2: 30 A.M. They both had to make sure the electrical stuff works properly before the boys played their new games. Later on the day, David took a very long nap because he was up until 2:30 A.M!

So, Santa Claus left the boys a note on a front of the T.V. They both read the letter separately before they began their games. When they woke up and was surprised to see their early Christmas gifts, Dylan and Ryan happily ran and came up to us that "Santa Claus's helper, Evan Elf came here early!" As soon they finished their breakfast, they began their first game, "Mario Kart."

We immediately noticed their personality when it comes to the game. Dylan LOVES to be in a competition. He is really a quick learner--- a couple of games, he usually ended up winning first place. It does enhance his self-esteem, but he does not always have a good sportsmanship if he wins in a second place. This leaves us wondering when it comes to lots of physical games from Santa Claus on Christmas Morning. Ryan is on the other hand. Being in a competition is not important to him. He would rather to drive and crashed into the water, other cars, or in a mud. It made him jumpy and laughed so hard! Of course, I have tried to teach him the concepts of staying on the road-- he just simply does not care and ignored my advices.

While they had a chance to practice their Wii games, they had a chance to show Ryan's Cub Scout off at the end of the meeting. The other fellower and father enjoyed playing a game. They were amazed how much the technology had changed over the decades. Part of the games is a good interaction for the players. However with the Mario Mart does not have a lot of physical activity, I have tried playing with this game with the boys, too. After a few games with the boys, my right hand trembled a lot while trying to write anything. I guess I am uptight in winning the games just like Dylan.

By the time we arrived our trip destination, we will be playing more than just Mario Kart. I am pretty sure that there will be a lot of physical activities along with our family members. Santa Claus had told me that the boys will be getting a lot more than just sitting down with this Wii games. It also applies to me because I am hoping to get a Wii work-out. Thus, I am looking foward to sharing the fun with my family over the holidays.
