So as I have mentioned in other posts I have 3 children;
Madison 4, Kade 2 and Kayson 1.
They have all been around the arcade industry since before they were born. My daughter would always kick around a lot and the only way I could get her to calm down was to go sit next to a game and the sounds would quiet her. She used to fall asleep as an infant in the back room of our location while we would work on our equipment.
Madison, our self proclaimed "Pinball Princess", missed the deadline this year for kindergarten and so we are putting her in preschool. She is so super excited to go and has been practicing her letters, numbers and shapes to show her teacher how smart she is. Yesterday she brought up some shapes that she had cut out to show me. She had a star, square, so on and so forth, then the Turret Tower. I tried to explain that it was a game and not a shape but she insisted. It was really cute, she drew on the details and everything. I told her I didn't think her teacher would know that shape.....she proceeded to ask me, "Well what kind of teacher is she if she doesn't know her shapes?"
I have those large Sterlite storage containers to store parts, decorations, etc. in and Kade decided that he wanted his own R360. He was rolling around in it and pretending to buckle himself him. He said this is MY R360. It was really cute. We took video of it but my husband won't let me put it on my FB or anything because he only has on a diaper. It will be a perfect video for when he is 16 and brings a girl home.
Kayson is our little tech. He climbs on the counters after being told not to multiple times and plays with the voltmeter and whatever board is on there at the time. The funny thing is at only 1 1/2 he knows how to turn it on and basically what to do with it. That's usually how we know he is back on the counter is from the beeping sounds from the volt meter.
Any other child would never think of the Turret Tower as a shape, a storage bin as an R360, or know basically just what to do with a volt meter. It's funny how children that are raised around different things "just know". When the neighbor kids come over to play with them they are always in ahh of our garage full of games and things. Maddy always asks them, "What you don't have arcades?" as if to say, well what is wrong with your parents.
I sure love those little munchkins! Even though they make another mess right after I get the first one cleaned up. It's those funny little things they do that put a smile on my face and it sure makes their Dad proud!
