Wii, Wii, Wii, All the Way Home

I gave in. My boys have been wanting a Nintendo Wii for a while. They are 8 and 6 (my nearly 23 month old doesn't care). Most all of their friends have some sort of video game system. Most actually have more than one, and a hand-held version. Yuk.

Technically, the boys paid for half of it (although Aidan's 1/4 actually covered more than Ethan's 1/4!)

The Wii has magical powers. It can take a great morning of the boys cooperating, playing well together, taking turns, laughing at each other's jokes (at the appropriate times), etc., and, in an instant of turning it on, the boys are argumentative, fighting over who goes first, laughing at each other's failures on the game, etc.

The Wii is about to "go to the market" if we can't get this under control.
