Last night as Caleb was getting ready for bed, he told me he wished he’d played on our neighbors’ trampoline after school.
I pointed out that he’d basically come home from school and rushed to his Minecraft game. Never one to miss a chance to twist the knife, I said “there are lots of things you used to like to do – build legos, write stories, draw, ride your bike – but for the last few weeks, all you’ve wanted to do is play Minecraft.”
He thought about that for a minute, came to sit on my lap and gave me a kiss.
“No, that’s not true. It’s not all I do. I spend a lot of time managing my YouTube account, too.”
Love it!

yup. that about sums it up.
It’s all Minecraft, all the time, here as well 🙂
Whenever I wanted my kids off the internet I just blocked their access at the router. When they complained that they couldn’t get online I told them our connection must be down and they found something else to do.

My sons are obsessed with Minecraft, too. They also play another one called Survivalcraft. I don’t get ti! Thank goodness YouTube accounts have come up 🙂

As a twist, my five-year-old nephew, upon hearing us grownups discuss bluetooth retorted: “I don’t have blue teeth, I have white teeth.”
Oh, man, do I know this one. I’ve got an 8-year-old Minecrafter who You-Tubes Stampy Longnose’s Minecraft walkthroughs and listens to them on his iPod while he plays Minecraft on the laptop. Sigh…
