Helpful Obsession! Huh?

I know that it is often very easy for us to see our kids' many obsessions as harmful.  Our kids spend so much time with them that they often don't have time for meaningful ventures.  Or do they?
Today we forgot to get cat food at the store and James chimed in with this gem... "If we don't get them food they will go on a RAMPAGE!!" Whoa... big word for a language delayed little man.  "Wow Jamesie... where did you learn such a big word?" "From Pokemon and Reshiram on my game!"  "Do you know what Rampage means?" "UHHH No." "Well what does Reshiram look like when he goes on a rampage?" "He looks MAD and crazy!" "So can you now guess what Rampage means?" "Rampage means MAD and crazy!"
Vocabulary lesson done for the day.  Hopefully your day will be Rampage free and you are able to find you Bliss.

      I love it when I can sneak some learning in and James doesn't know he is learning something! His vocabulary has exploded over the past 6 or so months! We are a very vocab rich family and he is banking just as much as the rest of us these days!

    So much learning in Pokemon! Sorting, classifying, organizing, strategy and vocabulary. I bet James goes on the rampage from time to time!

    Oh, he can ramp it up with the best of the best! Usually when he is asked to do something besides play or talk about Pokemon!
