The kids picked out fruit-themed socks and I got some nice pajamas. Then she opened the final package. A shiny&#8211;Red&#8211;Nintendo DS! With the Apple logo &#8211; no, that&#8217;s not just a sticker! The only Apple DS in the world. Believe it or not but she&#8217;s been gaming. Mario Kart with the boy, Cooking Mama with the whole family and Brain Voyage, Brain Age, and Big Brain Academy (she&#8217;s very bored).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ee; text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamingwithchildren.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/gmds2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1758\" title=\"gmds2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamingwithchildren.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/gmds2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/gmds2.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/gmds2-300x165.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/gmds2-500x275.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the short of it is, she&#8217;s fine. She&#8217;s got a couple more weeks of being bored all the time but the kids and I are keeping her entertained. She never would have expected it but GamerMom is becoming a bona fide gamer.
