Inara's newest obsession

For the longest time, all Inara ever wanted to watch on tv was Imagination Movers and an occasional episode of My Friends Tigger & Pooh. Well, this week she has become obsessed with Curious George. Last week I turned on an episode for her, and the girl was glued. Well, as glued as an 18 month old can be. She generally watches about 10 minutes of a show uninterrupted. Then she'll start wandering around the house, playing with toys, visiting mommy, and will venture back into the tv room to watch a couple scenes here and there. For Movers, she would run into the room when they sang a song, her favorite parts of the show. She really seemed to enjoy watching Curious George, so I recorded a couple episodes. Now, after nap, she has a new routine. She asks for cracker, which means she wants a snack. Then she walks into the tv room, points to the tv and says, "Ah ah ah peas." How can I say no to the cutest monkey sound followed by a polite please? It's so cute! However, today in the car while running errands, she started with her "Ah ah ah" and was rather sad when I told her no George in the car only at home. Don't know if she realizes George is not on command everywhere we go. Still it's pretty cute to hear her monkey sounds at all times of the day.

What no DVD player in the car? You know you have to keep kids entertained.

Guess I'm too old school because I don't want a DVD player in the car. I'd rather have my kids listen to music, sing songs, or play silly games like we did when we were little. I'm fine with singing wheels on the bus for a 20 min car ride to the mall and back. Now a long distance drive to CA may be a different story. We'll cross that bridge when Inara gets older though.
