Wii/Wee

Well although the Wii has invaded many families, the Carneys are not one of them. We have been invaded by another 'Wee'. Roy has affectionately dubbed his slide and his swing as the Wees. This behavior is perfectly acceptable within the boundaries of our own house but you take this Wee talk to the playground and we have problems. A couple of days ago Roy was playing on a slide at Chick-fil-a and told his daddy he wanted to go on the Wee another child exclaimed "That's not a Wii!" It's a good thing Roy doesn't take criticism seriously yet.

Roy's brush in with a real Wii-Roy's only personal experience with a true blue Wii was at our friend Holly and Britt's house. He's in a stage where he loves money, loves to look for it every where we go and when he finds it he saves it until he can find a bank. Well, while at Britt and Holly's he discovered a bank and Holly graciously got him out a big bucket of change to transfer into the bank. Of course Roy was in heaven and was thoroughly entertained for a good 20 min (an eternity in 2 year old time). Unfortunately the next time I checked in on him I realized that he was finding new places to slide the coins including their Wii! I stopped him before depositing a nickle but unfortunately a dime had already made the decent into the belly of the Wii. After fully disassembling it and finally digging inside with a cardboard 'hook' thankfully the dime was retrieved. Roy certainly hasn't collected enough loose change to cover the cost of replacing a real Wii.

Here's a cute video of Lilli's first experience with a 'Wee' Roy was happy to help her fully enjoy it.
