This weekend we have a number of family get-togethers that have caused me to relent and purchase some game apps for our Ipod Touch.  As always, I tried to go the educational route so I loaded “Stack the States”, “Pizza Fractions” and “Oregon Train”.  The clear winner has been Oregon Trail.  I’ve had to keep and eagle eye on Bruce or else he will play it all day.  So in between visiting with my Grandma, Aunt and cousins, I’ve been checking in on him and making sure he read Barbara Park’s “Operation Dump the Chump” from start to finish, as well as sending him outside to play.  This really makes me glad we don’t have a DS.  One weekend with some Ipod games, and my six year-old is obsessed.
