Current obsessions

So Gavin and Wyatt’s new obsession is Pokemon.  Gavin’s first got into them from his cousin Will and Wyatt had been begging for some pokemon cards so he could play too.  The boys lucked out and the switch witch brought each of them some new cards after Halloween and it has been a full out obsession since.  Especially Wyatt who carries his cards everywhere.   Only problem is that he also leaves them everywhere and then meltdowns ensue when he can’t find said pokemon.  I guess if anything it’s allowed us to teach a lesson on fairness in trading and not just doing what your older brother/cousin suggests.  Will convinced Gavin that he needed a certain card so Gavin decided he to give Will all his money from his piggy bank so he could go buy it (luckily we found out and all was returned but a good lesson non the less).  Wyatt has also fallen for Gavin’s traps and traded a good card for several not so great cards and is slowly figuring out the game.  My only problem is that I find these cards everywhere (see below) which is annoying but I’m learning all about these lovely creatures just like I have gotten to know every super hero and all about Star Wars.  Some of the perks about having boys J.

 Lincoln also has some crazy obsessions’ these days.  The first is this movie call Walking with Dinosaurs.  We recorded back when we had HBO and he is obsessed and wants to watch it every waking moment and to be honest it’s not that great of a movie.  It was so much better when the boys were into Tangled or Frozen.  Those movies I can handle watching over and over J.  His other weird obsession are toy reviews.  Who would have thought that it would be fun for kids to watch other kids play with toys but he is mesmerized and loves it.  We randomly stumbled upon them on YouTube and they are a hit.  If you need to keep a toddler still for a few minutes check out Ryan’s toy reviews.  Each one has over a million views they are so popular.
