DS
Teri and Sebastian have both been wanting to get Nintendo DSes for quite some time. I wouldn't have minded getting one myself, but the price was prohibitive.
Somehow, we ended up buying a DS for Sebastian last weekend. He had a $50 gift certificate to Toys R Us, and Teri made up the (surprisingly hefty) balance. I worried that he'd spend every waking moment playing it; frankly, it seemed insane to me to give a seven-year-old who watches way too much television anyway a DS.
But after a few days of initial fascination, the difficulty of the game (a Pokemon Rangers game) has ramped up enough to put him off it quite a bit. He's still interested, but he's not obsessed.
