The Wii and You

[Aponder]

Anybody else a fan of the Wii for their kids? Heck, I even play it myself. I never thought I could break a sweat from playing video games back in the day but, the times are a'changin.

Now, seeing as Xmas has just come and gone and left us with empty pockets... how many of you sprung for a Wii to make yer kids happy?

Well, we got a Wii for my fiancee for her graduation and my 4 year old plays with us. She's darn good and keeps up with me in Wii bowling.

we got one from DH's parents, the kids haven't played yet but my daughter probably will soon

We got one, and the Wii Fit, a couple of months ago. DS loves it. We don't play too often though, but when we do, it's a blast!

It sounds like everyone loves the Wii as much as my family and I do. It is a ton of fun and a great way to enjoy spending time with your family and friends. I will have to check out Wii Fit as I am hearing great things about it everywhere I turn.

I plan on getting Wii fit for after the baby is born, I've heard it can be very helpful for getting your body back

We have the Wii in our household too. It's great for the little ones. Alex is becoming a master at Baseball and Bowling. We've also got him a couple racing games too.

I got one last x-mas for the kids (it wasn't easy!) it is great! I can actually do some of the games a lot of games give me motion sickness, it's the only thing that does, so it is nice to be able to play with the kids. They got Rockband this year for it and it has made my house very full!

Wow, rockband is something I'm curious about - is it just pressing buttons ina sequnce or is there more to is? The wii is awesome!

My dads have one (oh yes, theyre very mature grandpas...)
Bek was playing with it on Christmas Day and she smacked herself in the head with the controller, it was quite funny, but it left a nasty bruise. I think we'll wait until she's a bit older to get one.
