Okay, it’s been really really cute that one of the first things she wants when she gets up in the morning or gets home in the evening is Wiggles. It’s really cute to see her run and literally jump onto her couch or into our chair and say, “Want Wiggles.”
This morning, however, I experienced something bordering on traumatic. As we were about to leave, she reached up into her books and pulled one out and said, “Barney!” She knows who Barney is. She even got upset with me for making her leave it in the car when I dropped her off. “My Barney!” She’s watched it ONCE with me so I know it’s poison from the daycare! I know it! *sigh* I know, it’ll be alright….I’m taking comfort in knowing that Wiggles, at least for now, are still her favorite.
Disclaimer: I’m not honestly upset at the daycare for introducing Barney. I know it’s inevitable and, to be honest, as annoying as the purple dinosaur is, it’s a kid’s educational show. Never mind that kids learn, incorrectly, that “This Old Man” and other traditional kid songs are “Barney songs” but I digress. 😉
