Happy Fathers Day!

First let me apologize for the lack of update...new job and what not. I am partially celebrating Fathers Day by getting back into the swing of updating.

As the other part of my celebration, today my amazing wife is taking me and the kids to a Lego KidsFest event at the convention center downtown. As a gamer I can't think of anything better (that will also keep the attention of a 2.75 year old and an 8 month old who is learning to interact with objects around him). While I am not quite sure what to expect, I am pretty sure I will come home with photos of crazy things we built, crazy other things people built, and a new Lego kit or two.

Also I will be bringing my 3DS, since if knitting and gaming don't cross over, maybe gaming and Legos will. So far the only Street Pass I have gotten is one from a band while I was at Hand Made Arcade (not the video game kind).

BONUS SECTION!!! Why: because it has been too long since my last post.

Let me tell you a story of gaming culture meets child development. As you may know or have guessed, my daughter is already an expert at the iPad. While my wife and I struggle for those last 5 minutes of sleep as the kids use us like a playground, my daughter will regularly ask if she can watch a "Gab show" on the iPad. When we say yes, she unlocks it, finds Netflix, and starts one of the many quality educational shows that we allow her. Only once or twice has she started something we don't approve of (and it was still a kids show, just something we don't like such as Arthur). So about the time that she was first learning the iPad, Gab made a leap of logic that I found brilliant.

On the back of the Mr/Mrs books (you know, like Mr. Perfect and Mr. Greedy) you will find little pictures of all the Misters and Little Misses. Upon finishing reading the book one day, Gab turns to the back, touches another Mr, and opens the book with a puzzled look on her face. She repeats this 2 or 3 times before I realize she is wondering why the pictures inside the book haven't changed in response to her selection.
