Lisa loaned me her playstation and a few games, and yesterday I hooked it up and sat down to play Banjo and Kazooie with Mikyla. Mercy! The child took to that like a duck takes to water.
She'd alternate between yelling with excitement, "Mammy help me! Kill that carrot! Kill the troll!! Oh NOOOO Mammy help me get him out of the water!!"
One minute we'd be laughing hysterically, the next I'd be trying to console her as she downright wept real tears of frustration and anger.
We played that game all day off and on yesterday, and finally at midnight we stopped and came in here to get ready for bed. Mik decided she wanted to hook it up here and play for a while, I did so, but then she made ME play it while she watched, because we'd advanced by then into the witches house, and it was spooky in there!
She finally let me turn it off about 1:30 or so, but then she insisted I watch Kim Possible with her. Eye Yi Yi! I told her if I didn't get to watch something grown up on tv, at the very least something that wasn't a cartoon, my brain was going to turn to mush! She said she might let me watch "Family Ties" today, but no 'news'.
That kid is something else!
She and I were napping when Sarah came in last night, so Sarah didn't get her up to go home, but Mallory did go home for the night. She'll be back later this morning though.
For the most part, we're all over the bronchitis.. it's left us ALL with slight coughs, but nothing we can't handle. Maybe by next week we can start getting out and doing things again. I'd like to take them to Chuck E. Cheese in Lexington one of these days. They've never been there. Wish we had one here!
Mom's birthday is on the 27th. *laughs* Reckon she'd like to celebrate it at Chuck E. Cheese?
