I am especially enjoying baseball. I think that is where I am most improved. Just as, I am awful at boxing and I dislike it the most.
Since I am generally in the house alone playing baseball, and in trying to not be so uptight about setting a new record every time, I started some chatter with the Mii's. The old "batter, batter, batter, swing, batter...", "easy out" and such. Sometimes, I would want try to insert the batters name, but mostly, I didn't know how to pronounce them.
Earlier this week, I had a bright idea. I created a bunch of Mii's. First, I made Mii's from all my nicknames. I have a lot and I won't get into that here. Then I started making Mii's to represent my family. I made Mii's from my mother all the way down to my youngest niece.
The Wii has all of us as a team, and we play against the unpronounceables. And We. Are. Good! It took us only one game to gel as a team. That game ended in a tie. The next game we stomped them so bad, it ended with the Mercy Rule, in the FIRST inning!!
I loved it that my special needs nephew hit a home run. My mother and 2 year old niece were better fielders than some of the pros, catching flies and tagging runners out. It is far more fun with them. It is like a mini family reunion each morning.
Now, all I need to do is remember that this is all pretend and not call up one of my relatives to congratulate them on a good play!!!
EDIT - The Family stomped the Unpronounceables again today. Another Mercy Rule win, only this time in the second inning.
