Well what do we have here? It can't possibly be an update. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology I now can update while I drive home from work. Don't worry I'm not looking at the screen so I likely have many typos but I'm taking advantage of the new android operating system so that I can dictate my posts. Hopefully now I will be able to keep up a regular schedule of updates. Enough of the self flagellation. On to the post.
Yesterday we decided to give my daughter her own wii mote. She was having trouble with the standard version and when we saw a pink miniature wii mote the choice was made for us. Of course what was the first game that's my daughter wanted to play? Not the kid friendly Elmo's abc's, but rather the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. From that alone I'm proud of her.
We started a new mission for her and Gab began the game on her own. She had a little trouble controlling Link in 3D but after a little bit of coaching she could move in the right direction (give or take 45 degrees). I'm sure the details are only of interest to a doting father but let me just say it was awesome. Gaming with her has the added benefit that once Gabriella has reached her tolerance for attempts in solving a new activity, she suffers the same disease as the rest of us: not wanting to stop playing. As a result she just hands the controller to me and asks me to play my game while she coaches *me* on where to go. It looks like I might finally finish a video game this year.
