The Wii is certainly a big HIT for Kyle !

Today was his first of many weeks of summer vacation at my house and it's always a challenge to find ways to keep up with his never ending energy level. He's the kind of kid that can't actually "sit" at the table while eating. He's got one butt cheek on the chair and one half way off as his leg is bouncing around while he eats! So today we got the Wii games out and first I played some with him........tennis, bowling, baseball............and then we got to the boxing. I boxed a few rounds with him and then decided I better quit before my arms become so sore I won't be able to lift them tomorrow! He continued to box against the Wii opponents - FOR TWO MORE HOURS NON STOP! He was determined to reach the "pro" level. You start with zero level and as you win you obtain points. It takes 1000 points to reach the pro level. He got to 684 points and decided he was ready to stop for today!

Of course I will not be allowing him to stay on these games for hours each day. We will be alternating with days of the beach, zoo, park, swimming and whatever else we can do. But on days like today when we are home all afternoon it sure helped the hours pass easier in a fun and active way!
