Ev...@ Chocolate Mom: I do like the leapster games. Evan was bored with them pretty quickly, though. They are very educational. I like how you limit the time for your daughter. My problem is that it's too easy for me to send them away to play video games when I need a few minutes to myself to shower, cook or pay bills! Don't even get me started on how I need to make them turn off the television. I try to send them outside but they come back in after a few minutes with their cheeks flushed begging for water becuase it's 106 degrees in Texas...in the shade!<br /><br />@Katie: I feel ya sister, my hubs plays his fair share of video games as well.Shanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345276133219085084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330846802553598548.post-45127318549047592532010-09-14T12:46:31.671-05:002010-09-14T12:46:31.671-05:00It's funny that we have most of those gaming s...It's funny that we have most of those gaming systems are our house for my husband!

But I have to say, ...I know exactly what you mean! But I have to say, I absolutely love, love, love the leapfrog games. Their educational, fun, and good distractions. I have my 10yr old daughter on a 1 hour of computer time, 1 hour of gaming time, and 1 hour of TV during the week days (after homework, of course)...the rest she must fill with reading or playing of some sort.<br /><br />And, well, my 20 month old is addicted to Nick, Jr. Loves his Wonder Pets and his Yo, Gabba, Gabba!<br /><br />At least we can say we tried!!Chocolate Mom aka Blupoetreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645166301449951483noreply@blogger.com
