Week 200: Computers, Games, and Jawas

Okay it’s going to be a super short update this week, because I don’t have time to do anything more but if I don’t do something I’m going to miss the whole week. Wah. So here’s some pictures:

Let’s see, stories? I’ve started encouraging Sam to play on the computer, because if she’s going to grow up to be a geek I’ve got to get cracking. Of course, by the time she gets older computers will be the size of a pea and inserted right into our brain next to the pituitary gland and who knows what she’ll be using it for. But for now, she’s making Clifford the Big Red Dog greeting cards.

I’ve also been letting her watch me play Super Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Wii (a near perfect game, by the way), since it’s cartoony and kind of kid friendly. She liked it, but the other day she threatened to kill her stuffed frog, who she called Bowser. Ger and I tried talking her into talking with the frog about how he’s been behaving and point out how he can improve himself, maybe with some basic job training. But no, Sam wanted to stomp him. So, yay Nintendo. My kid wants to murder every turtle she sees now.

Mandy is getting more and more chatty, though she still seems to have a language devoid of an actual vocabulary and reliant entirely on inflection and screeching. Most of the time she just shouts “Utini!” like one of those droid zapping midgets from Star Wars.
