Elliot is obsessed with Plants versus Zombies, 1, but not just the video game. I got him a set of Plants Vs Zombies stuffed animals. I’ve been giving him one per day until about 4 days, after which I gave him the rest as a heap.
He brings them to Pre-K. He brings them to sleep. We play “plants vs zombies classroom” and also act out the game with the stuffies on the table. We talk about each plant and it’s power. We do the same for the stuffies. We hum the song.
We write in a Plants vs Zombies activities book – mazes, draw by number, crosswords and sudoku that he can’t do yet, and other fun stuff. It’s a hand-me-down book from Max. And I guess that’s something else I should write about.
Max was also very interested in this game for a while, but not obsessed like Elliot that I recall. He did not use this book, for instance. He didn’t act out the game. He didn’t hum the music, etc. At that time, the game was new and a national sensation. Karolina and I both played it a lot, too.
It is nice to see Elliot passionate about something.
