My nephew invented a game where he pushes me around like a log

It requires a little bit of assistance on my part, I have to lean into the roll a bit, but the process of pushing me back and forth across the carpet was so entertaining that he probably could have done it for hours.

You can be damn sure that kids learning Arch. I usually just pressure children into installing Mint, but I know his dad and that kids going to be grepping before he’s in double digits.

I've found that kids' games should accomplish as many of these as possible:

  • Require lots of exertion from them.
  • Require minimal exertion from you.
  • Still allow you to talk to them and vice-versa.
  • Keep them engaged.

Sounds like you found a game that does all 4. Congrats!

Spot on! I'd only add that it's key to give them some control over the situation. Let them feel they're making choices that have consequences and they'll fart around all day. :)

It's funny because little kids don't have much of an attention span for most things....but then they'll randomly get sucked into one activity and not get bored of it for such a prolonged period of time.

Wrap yourself up in something sticky and get him to roll your around your non carpeted floors, get some cleaning and fun in.
