Nintendo DS Disney Princess and Lovely Lisa


So my little girl is 3, and loves her DSi she got for Christmas. One of the games Daddy got her is Disney Princess Magical Jewels.


In Magical Jewels you get to play as a different princesses, and collect the magical jewels. This is not a good beginning game for your little princess. It does not read the instructions out loud, so she needed some help figuring out what to do. Watching me play a few times showed her the point, and she did enjoy playing it. Each level is very similar, which is a negative and can get kind of repetitive. A positive is what little girl doesn't want to play as Snow White? In another year when she is four, I think it will be right up her alley. For her age I'll give this game 3 of 5 stars.

Lovely Lisa...This is a really cute game my little one really likes. Unfortunately it's MIA right now, and she asks for it daily. Whoever designed these cartridges to be so small really should have thought it over again. My biggest fear is I accidentally sucked it up in the vacuum cleaner and it's forever gone. If that's the case, I'll buy another one. Yes it's that good. Lexi really enjoys this game. It doesn't read the instructions out loud, so she needed some help getting started.

The basics of this game are great for little girls. You get to do all kinds of fun to kids grown up stuff. Like clean up the kid's mess, put on makeup, play with a puppy, go shopping, and more. You can also be a nurse, and give a shot so it doesn't hurt, be a policewoman, and work at other jobs as well. Since the game is MIA, we have not unlocked everything yet. It's a definite keeper though, and would buy it again in a heartbeat. It would probably be even better for a 4-5 yr. old, but Lexi really digs it. I'd give this game 4 out of 5 stars as well.

In the Beginning...

Welcome to As She Grows! "She" is my little girl Lexi, who is 3 years old. I'm Amy, and I'm a 26 year old stay at home Mom.

I know there are a million blogs on the net now, and I'm sure this one will got lost in the shuffle, but I wanted to start it anyway. I'll be letting you in on what's up in our lives, what keeps my crazy kid interested, and the rest of the daily grind. Exciting huh?

I'm going to try and update this regularly, and will mostly focus on what keeps Lexi interested. She got a Nintendo DSi for Christmas after playing mine for months. It's her favorite present by a long shot. However, finding age appropriate games has been a hassle. I'm going to review some of the games she has, and give the dirt on the other stuff as well. All of us mom's love buying for our kids, and hopefully I'll help some other moms spend their money wisely.

Until next time...
