This year I decided I would get each of my step-grandchildren Nintendo DS Lite games for Valentine’s Day instead of candy. There were two things that motivated me to do this. The first reason that I decided to get my grandkids Nintendo DS Lite games for Valentine’s Day has to do with the fact that my husband and I are their guardians and not just their grandparents. I know my grandkids and if they are bored they often get themselves into trouble. The best defense against this is to make sure they are occupied. By supplying each of my grandkids with a Nintendo DS Lite of their own and regularly buying them Nintendo DS Lite games I am making sure that all three of them are occupied on long journeys, at other people’s houses or in situations in which we might have to wait such as a visit to the opticians.
The second reason why I chose to get my grandchildren Nintendo DS Lite games instead of candy is that all three of them received and ate far too much of the stuff over Christmas. I do not want to encourage my grandkids to overeat because although they are all slim and active I worry about them developing poor eating habits that will be hard to break later on. I am trying to educate my grandkids about healthy eating choices now so it will come naturally to them later.
I have already bought each of the three grandchildren Nintendo DS Lite games ready to give them on Valentine’s Day. I bought their Nintendo DS Lite games online because I enjoy the convenience of shopping via the web. For instance I remember buying my eldest grandchild Alisha’s game at a website called Northern Lites which is located at the URL http://www.northernlites.biz. I found her game after noticing that the Northern Lites shopping website had a wide selection of Nintendo DS Lite games and other seventh generation video game console games selling for reasonable prices. I stopped to look in more detail at the selection of games at this store and that is how I found this Pokemon Pearl Version DS:

I know that Alisha will love her Pokemon Pearl Version Nintendo DS Lite game because for the past few years she has had this weird obsession with all things Pokemon. My bet is that neither she nor my two grandsons will really care that they don’t have much candy on Valentine’s Day once they see what their pap and I did get for them.
