I was chosen for the cafemom influencer program.  I got a free Vtech V Smile Vmotion video learning system for my 3 yr. old son.  It is super cool...like a Nintendo WII for kids.  It is for ages 3-7.  It has two options for playing the games...one is joystick mode & the other is a motion mode.  You move the controller around & your charecter moves in the direction of the controller.  It is fun & it teaches your child at the same time...how cool is that.  I m psyched. 

Kristjan was so excited when he woke up & saw this new game at the house.  He kept asking me where it came from.  We hooked it up & he played for awhile but didn't really grasp the concept just yet.

The next day, he knew right what to do.  He really enjoys playing with it & has been learning too.  He loves the game where the character balances on a ball & has to find the healthy food.  He also loves the car racing. 

I think this product is a great way to combine fun & learning.  I am so excited to have one.  I went to look for new games for him....however, I was seriously disappointed to find out the games cost $25 a piece at Target.  I will probably never buy another game for it at that price.  I expected them to cost $15 a piece or so...at least under $20.  I m not sure that too many of the parents I know would be willing to spend around $60 on the learning center + $25 per game.  It just isn't practical for a toddler toy.

Other then my complaint about the prices of the games, I LOVE this learning system.  I m sure that as it has been around awhile & the price comes down some, many parents will buy it.  I will definitely recommend it to my friends for their toddlers.  If the price came down some, I would love to buy it for my nieces for Christmas.

Daddy loves the games just as much as Kristjan LMAO!!!

I plan to update this post with some pictures.  Unfortunately my hubby took the camera deer hunting with him.
