One of William's favorites things to do is play video games. We have a few favorites around here but mostly lately we have been playing Donkey Kong Returns on the Wii and Skylanders or Halo 4 for the XBox. I enjoy the time we get together sitting and playing together. I try to make sure that other important things are done before we play like school and playing outside with your friends and that there were no problems with his behavior. It is motivation for him to do the right thing all day long and a great thing for us to do together and bond.
It is good because the time that we spend together is spent talking to each other. We can sit and play and just talk. He is six so just getting him to talk about anything is good. You never know what you might hear when you sit down to play. I have learned about his friends at school because something happened that made him remember something from the days events or I might find out that he was happy that his teacher gave him a hug that day. I might also find out about a cool toy someone brought to school. His mind is a lot like mine there are so many things going on in his head so it just kinda pours out. You just need to be there with the bucket to catch it all.
You might think that it wouldn't be much fun playing with a six year old but you would be wrong. William is very good at most of the games that we play together. He tends to be over zealous at times but he can get through some of the things I cannot sometimes too. He was beating his brother and the next door neighbor at games on the Wii and they where much older than him at the time. It got so bad that they didn't even want to play with him anymore. It was kinda funny actually to see a 12 year old and a 10 year old not want to play with a 5 year old because he was too good for them. I sit here smiling about it just remembering.
A bonding moment for us,
His Loving Dad
