Wii, Wii, Wii, Wii, All The Way Home

In a completely impulsive moment, we bought ourselves a Wii. Our anniversary is next Tuesday (isn’t the modern gift for eight years a game console?) so we figured we’d splurge, since a) they’re really hard to come by, and b) they’re incredibly fun.

We played Wii bowling last night…I’m definitely better at Wii bowling than real-life bowling. Well, at least I can’t really remember ever bowling a 147, but it’s been a while since I actually bowled so maybe I have. I’m looking forward to learning how to play tennis. And there are plans for versions of Dance, Dance Revolution and Animal Crossing. Could be fun!

My sister-in-law Jeannie was the one who found them, because she was looking for one for herself. So she brought home two Wiis, and we had fun cracking jokes about “oui, oui!” and “wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home”. OK, it was funny last night, anyway.

Anyone out there have a Wii? Any suggestions for a really good starter game for a 2 1/2 year old who’s never played a video game in her life? I imagine we can help her figure out the bowling, since my 4 year old niece was getting pretty good at it last night, but it’s always nice to have other options.
