Well, here it is another on my long list of "I will never" with my kids. However, in all fairness here I had to realize that God sent me on this parenting mission with a partner and he has a say in the decisions too! Anyone that really knows me knows that I am not in real strong favor of video games, but my husband really wanted them to start with this one. The active sports ones are what we will be starting with and he has promised me no violence. He also feels it will be a big benefit to have an indoor activity with the rain waiting to pour down on us for months here in Salem.
So, not only did I agree, (without pouting, after all I have had "my way" for a while) but I even shopped for the best price and picked it up while out running errands so it awaits in the closet to be wrapped for Christmas. We have never purchased anything so extravagant for our kids, and it will be the only present under the tree from us this year. For the past few years we have done 3 gifts, representing the 3 gifts Jesus received from the wise men, but we will modify this year and maybe "wrap" some small things in their stockings. I hope they have a blast with it!

I bet they'll love it. I'm with you, I have a STRONG aversion to video games for several reasons. But, from what little I know, the Wii does seem a lot different. I'll look forward to hearing your review once they're playing with it.
