This weekend I was playing Mario Brothers with Riley on the Wii. He is getting better, but still feels like he has to physically jump when Mario jumps and often runs into the Goombas (And then yells at them, because it's clearly their fault.) I was trying to patiently (read - "through a clenched jaw") help him when I had video game epiphany...playing video games with Riley is a lot like how it will be to watch him grow up. No matter how many times I try to run ahead and get rid of the bad guys or point out all the goodies (gold coins) for him, ultimately I know I just have to sit back, trust he remembers what I've taught him and let him figure it out on his own - no matter how many times he jumps into the same pit.
Pretty deep for Mario Bros., eh? :)
And now that we have the beautiful Black Betty , I can plan my menu again!
Monday - Taco Salads
Tuesday - BBQ Chicken Sandwiches and Corn on the Cob
Wednesday - Lasagna
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Beef and Noodles
