What do you do after your kids are in bed? Catch up on the chores? Read? Watch TV?
Hubby and I used to sit together on the couch sharing a snack while engrossed in one of our favorite shows (I love a certain thing on our DVD player that has a red box with white lettering…you can watch a whole season of a show on your time without your kids ever knowing it, and bonus – no commercials!)
Lately, however, I’ve been the one catching up on folding laundry or figuring out my to do list for the next day while Hubby practices his Wii skills. It’s so funny that our uncoordinated Cutie Pie can play some of those games so well now that he beats Hubby!
Cutie Pie is getting so much better and more coordinated. For this boy, having a game system in the house has been a good thing. He’s also been learning about time management, rewards and incentives, spatial awareness. For some, a game system is probably not a good idea. We actually thought well against it for a very long time, but in this case it turned out pretty OK.
Are there things you thought you’d never have in your home, but have turned out to be little blessings in disguise?
