before i even had karsyn i had my mind set on my children not watching tv. i'm certainly not into characters and we don't sport character clothing. i wanted my child's knowledge to come from other sources besides tv. and i certainly didn't want their days to be filled with nothing but tv.
well. times change, so they say. karsyn never has been a tv watcher until recently. and i have to admit that it's all my fault. its so easy to put blue's clues on and have her occupied for 30 minutes at a time. and until today, we have only watched the Noggin channel, which is geared towards preschoolers. she enjoys it. but i still don't want it to be what she does all day long, even though, at this point in this pregnancy, i wouldn't mind a whole day of karsyn watching tv and me sleeping.
and we just started watching dvd's on long trips. elmo has become her favorite. she watches the same elmo movie every time and wants nothing else. so today was the day. i decided that we would try watching ...
as i turned it on, she shouted "ELMO!" much to my dismay, elmo has become her favorite character. guess it could be worse. she does know who dora is, but doesn't make special requests for her just yet. and to make it even better, today, elmo was playing football, or "hutball" as karsyn calls it.
her jaw dropped.
elmo and football. what more could a girl want?!?
"MELMO" was Briley's favorite, too! He turned 2 when "Tickle Me Elmo" was first popular.... so guess what he got on his birthday.... "2" of them! I also potty trained him with Elmo underwear. I told him not to poopoo on Elmo, and it worked! He loved Elmo so much he was willing to not poop on him! Hearing these stories makes me miss my babies being babies. But, hearing your pregnancy stories makes me glad I won't be pregnant anymore. You'll make it! Before you know it, your life will be blessed with another beautiful daughter!
