Awesome Connor!!

Kids have really taken to the XBox lately, since we got them the Shrek 2 game for Christmas. It's a great game for them, cuz you don't have to be facing the way you're running - the character just runs in the direction you point.

Also, it's a co-op game, with the ability to switch characters amongst us, and allow players to join or leave at any time.

Anyway - we're trudging through all the levels, many of which have a tough enemy at the end of the level. We all came upon a troll, and 3 of us were "down" (aka died). Connor was the only character left. He was scared and didn't want to do it. Wanted daddy to do it for him. We talked him into trying, and he was making progress.

After a LONG battle against the troll, taking directions from us, he finally BEAT THE TROLL.

Avery was watching from the couch the whole time, and when Connor finished:

"Awesome Connor!"

What a loving sister...

Connor's Interpretation

Daddy is sick this weekend, standard head cold. Connor's take on it, as he's walking downstairs and telling Mommy:

"Daddy's neck hurts, and his nose is full"

(sore throat and stuffy nose)
