I ordered this Wii for my mom and dad and they seem to love it. They are technically challenged so it is taking some getting used to, but they seem excited to have it and to get started on the Wii fit.

There are cute mobiles out there designed clearly for the parent’s taste (or to match the nursery) but not for the baby. Small babies like bright colors and black and white patterns that they can clearly see. They like sounds and movements. My son had the earlier version of this mobile that is now out of production. My daughter got this one and she LOVES IT! She can spend easily half an hour watching it, if we let her. She is very excited, moves her arms and feet, and cooes while watching it. Very engaging. We had no technical problem with it and the battery has been running for over 4 months now with daily use and no replacement.

Guess which one? Most people would choose the circus story, I would venture to guess. But for me, the old man in the nursing home was the superb plotline. Having observed my parents and grandparents and other people in that situation, I thought the author captured the experience, and the frustration for the…I always want to say ‘inmate’ rather than ‘patient’…who one day finds him/herself to be 90 (or 93) and wonders how this ever came about. The little indignities were all there, along with understanding that the ‘inmate’s’ children are getting on in years themselves and can’t assume caretaking. It was done with humor, compassion, and insight. I suppose a whole book devoted to a nursing home soap opera would have been too much, so the circus story paced it out.
I found myself skimming the chapters about the circus so I could get back to the nursing home drama. I often do that with books where I like one plotline but not the other. (The Devil in the White City; The Short History of a Prince). Pssst, don’t tell the authors, but I’ll bet a lot of other readers do, too.

I bought the wii for my retired husband. He was very surprised and loves the game. He has been saving the world in air battles daily.
