I have an interesting dilemma. I posted earlier about my 2 year old
playing video games. (Which is weird enough, on top of the fact that
he will play for hours on end. He has the attention span people dream
about. LOL) The sentence "Did you just see what he did?!?!" Seems to
be exclaimed a LOT around here.

First of all, both my children (the older one is 9) have a passion for
video games. They are so different, that its nice to see them brought
together. However, they now squabble over the controllers and the
games. He also is having a lot of trouble sharing. The younger one
is very good at the games and does know what he is doing. He
completes missions, earns coins, spends coins, and gets around etc.
etc. We had to get him his own Gameboy because he was always wanting
his older brothers.

I suppose the question is, am I supposed to be getting him his own
Playstation now? As much as I want him to follow his passions and
continue learning in this seemingly advanced manner, I just feel weird
about getting my not quite 3 year old a playstation!!! LOL

On the bright side, since he played all afternoon.... my laundry is done!

LOL! Julia loves Tetris - she was 2 in July. Julian is 5 and can (and does)
play Halo for hours and hours...lol...

Just wanted to say I hear ya! lol! And thank goodness we have a few systems,
including a Gameboy, to choose from! lol!

Good luck :)

If you can afford it, maybe a second system is the answer. That way
they can each play when they want. Maybe you can even pick up a used
one.

We are in love with our Wii because there usualy isnt many waiting at a time since we can play 4 at a time most games. We have a fund started for buying a new laptop though :) ...1 computer that will handle WoW and 3 players isnt mixing so well.
