Playing Games
- Play a game with Trevor.
Tonight, this is on my list of things I want to do. When I first thought that I wanted to do this, I felt a little ashamed that it was something I needed to even consider. I mean, I play with him all the time, right? Maybe not as much as I should. There are times that I play with him in between doing other things, or play with him for a little while, but it has been some time since I just sat down and played. Sometimes the endless hamster wheel that is the traditional American life gets in the way of being a parent.
Recently for me that has been the case. Between working extra at PerkinElmer, the bookstore, the holidays, and everything else, I have missed out on some great moments.
We rented Mario Party for GameCube the other night. Tara got a chance to play with him and said it was a lot of fun. I think we may start out with that. Worst case scenario is to just watch some cartoons together. He and I connect a lot over Transformers Armada. Often I find myself watching cartoons with him late on Saturday nights in my bedroom while we goof off and knock things off the walls. He's a cool kid.
