I have to say that I love the game too! It is a two player game, but it is different because you can play the game together as different Star Wars characters. I think there are even some things to be learned from the game besides improving hand eye coordination. I have taught the boys that Mom can hang while playing video games. And more importantly we are also working on dismissing gender roles. In the beginning when I played, the boys insisted that I play as Princess Leia. And since she is the only female in the game, I was not 'allowed' to play as anyone else!
I think they might have witnessed a little steam emanating from my ears. I will give you the short version and just say that the Princess turned on her teammate and kicked some serious Stormtropper and then Jedi behind! Let's just say that they learned a good lesson. After seeing the powers that a woman can have, I have now seen them playing as Princess Leia! I am going to make them into good men, even if I have to 'blow them up' along the way to teach them a thing or two!

He's sooo cute! :) We used to use that trick with my little cousins too. ;)
He's adorable! Yes, they need to know that women are strong and capable and someday they will love one enough to take care of her forever (for the "better or for worse" commitment).
Have a great week!

Oh that is too cute!! I suppose it keeps them quite for a suitable length of time!!
Such a cute little gamer you've got there. Same weakness for snacking while doing something challenging that I battle with.;-)
Here with NaComLeavMo and thanks for your comment on my blog.
Cute pics. Glad your older boys are able to include your little guy in their games.
Love the pictures! All boy and his toy. :0)
Happy NCLM!
Your blog -- and your family -- are so cute. Good for those nboys to see how tough we females are!
and thanks for commenting and offering support on my blog!
So cute! Just like the big kids!
He looks so cute. You can see he is really trying to concentrate on the game in the one picture. Great fun.
Your boys are darlings. Bet they can't wait to teach their little sis a thing or two.

I wonder what the battles will be like when he realises that his controller isn't actually plugged into anything!
