Day 20 and 21 - Fruit Ninja

Sam is really into video games.  He is also really into Fruit Ninja on the iPod.  He loved playing it with Uncle Berk when he was here this fall.  Yesterday, Ben decided to buy it for the Kinnect.  

Oh. My. Goodness.  

Greatest $10 we ever spent.  The kid is in love. He played all afternoon yesterday.  He played last night while the babysitter was here.   He woke up this morning and said, "Good morning Daddy.  Play Fruit Ninja on TV." He played after church today.  

Here he is yesterday while in the midst of a ninja frenzy.

The best part?  The kid is jumping around like a maniac. It wears him out. He gets to play video games and get TONS o' exercise at the same time. As you can see below, the kid isn't afraid to play hard.

And he makes sound effects.  Like "Hee-ya!"  and "Boo-ya!"  Yes, I said Boo-ya.  It's awesome.

Here's a little video of our favorite ninja.

The only problem is he's not so good about playing with others.  There is a 2-player mode.  Nope, doesn't dig that.  Mommy and Daddy can play maybe ONE game and then he says, "Sammy's turn!" He wouldn't even let the babysitter play.  Little stinker.
