Best Christmas Present Ever!

You know how you spend all of this time and money buying Christmas presents and the novelty has usually worn off before school even starts back up? So you put the toy in a bin and store it for a few years because you just spent a bunch of money on it, but it's hardly ever played with again? That is the usual story at our house (unless is just the right video game). Not this year.For once we got it right. Bradley got the ODYSSEY III globe by leapfrog and I'm telling you, it's awesome. He plays it everyday (and it's almost March!). I've seen him laying down in bed at night playing it. It has several categories that it will give information about different countries/continents and games for up to four players. Bradley can find 18 continents/oceans in 45 seconds.
My favorite part is that he has started to apply what he's learned. One day he was looking at something that said it was made in Korea. He said "was that North Korea or South Korea?" Last week while we were reading the Book of Mormon it referred to the Red Sea. He said "I know where that is, it's by Egypt."

It's a great toy for kids and adults, check it out.
