So let me tell you a little bit about why I like the Wii Sports Games. I have a 5year old boy who races around doing all of his jobs and tries to find ways to be helpful, until he has enough points to earn wii time. We only have one game, the sports game. You can play tennis, golf, bowling, baseball and boxing. His favorite is boxing. He is good at this. You have to duck and punch and move to avoid being knocked out. After a boxing session, he is usually sweating. But there is more. You get to create and play with a character that you have created and that is pretty cool. Actually that is the only part my girls really enjoy doing. But for Willard I think it is more. When you play these sports you can do it alone or with someone. The game provides an audience. There is a crowd cheering for you while you are playing and then if you win...great, if you don't try again. Actually our wii is all in Japanese so maybe Willard is learning addition language skills that I'm not even aware of.

Same blue eyes, but different features as they grow into their own personalities. Parley (on the left) has thick hair that goes one way and grows very fast. Heber (on the right) has light fluffy hair and he doesn't mind having it brushed or gelled. Don't try that with Parley---his hair is perfect just the way it is, there are no improvements that can be made. I took heber with me in the car to run an errand and Parley stayed home. Heber asked about every 30 seconds where Parley was. They look out for each other. Always getting an extra treat or toy for the brother to hold. They settle most of their disagreements with minor fighting. They love having each other to be with. I know it won't always be this way...but I want to remember these moments before they change. My sweet boys.
