Rabbid Fun!

Last night the B-ster and I had a Wii off. We sat down for an hour and battled head to head on Rayman Raving Rabbids. I haven't had that much playing the Wii in forever.

Most times it's the boy who reigns the roost when it comes to the video game playing. It blows my mind that he can play a super hard level in Mario Galaxy and beat it in two tries when it takes Chris and I many many many Mario's to do so. It's an amazing sight to see and well, that's usually what happens. The whole family watches on the edge of their seat while the boy plays. B just sits and offer's player two assistance when requested and doesn't complain that she isn't getting her turn.

This past weekend I went to the video store and rented Rayman. It was an instant hit with the kids. Honestly, how can you not love playing a game where a mini game consists of burping, then causing massive damage to Paris? But after a day the boy grew tired of the game and went back to something more challenging.

So last night I took advantage of the empty house and had some quality time with the tot. What I love about this game is that a four year old can play it. There are a few mini games that require a little more than what she can master, but most she can actually do and WIN. Yup. She got some high scores and claimed ownership of the game. The game itself is so silly and had no "MUST GET TO THIS LEVEL" stress that I wasn't barking at her to do this and that correctly. So both of us had fun...yes, F-U-N!

Now all we need is a charge station...the remotes suck up battery life like nothing!
