Detox

Noah has been rather obsessed with Mario Kart lately. It has come to the point where he sees all of life in terms of Mario Kart. He basically tries to draw parallels to Mario Kart with everything he sees. We decided it was time for some detox. He has not been allowed to play it for over a week while he learns how to play with toys again.

Mondays are Amanda's laundry days, which means that they spend a lot of time together. She said that he did a little better with toys, but really took his media energy and focused it on mischief. I don't remember all the things he did. I do know that when I came home he had green dry erase marker on his legs. One of the problems was that during a time-out he decided to take a nap in his room. He then had to be roused to get Lily from the bus. That never goes well.

Lily has been a good sport about this media fast, though I suspect she wants to finish watching Liberty's Kids. Lily likes playing video games, but isn't quite as obsessed as Noah. I can't imagine where he gets this obsession from!
