Hannah Montana made her cry

One of A's birthday presents was the Hannah Montana Wii game. It consists of doing dance moves while listening to Hannah Montana music. It was this or karaoke High School Musical game. I went with dancing over singing (not that she doesn't have a beautiful voice, but hours of A singing the HSM songs would be like torture!)

This afternoon is the first time she's played the game and she cried. You learn new moves with each song you perform. It got to "Make some noise" and you have to do a "stir the pot" move. She did the practice session and she couldn't get it work. Everytime, Lily would say, "Oops, let's try again!" After the 15th or so try, the tears appeared.

I tried to give her suggestions, circle your arms slower, put your arms out straight and then circle, etc. My helpful hints were met with bared teeth and a terse "No, Mommy, that's not it." Finally DH convinced her to let me try. I figured out you have to hold the remote and nunchuk straight up and down for it to work, you cannot be pointing during this move.

Thank heavens for DH and his persuasive abilities, because I was not happy about the Hannah Montana meltdown.
