we don't watch much tv in this house just b/c we're not that into it (okay, except the online shows i watch in the afternoon) & plus we don't have cable, so there's not much to watch! but this morning i felt like watching the today show while feeding amelia. since the election, i have to admit i enjoy the media frenzy over the obama's...there's finally a president that i don't mind hearing about! so i'm tuning into at least the news a bit more than i normally would. anyway, addy has never enjoyed watching tv either, probably b/c we don't have it on to get her used to it. but we have tried to get her to at least be interested for those times when i need 5 or 10 minutes to do something & the tv would be a great diversion... alas, she doesn't fall for it. she did watch 'dora the explorer' at my sister's (addy's uncle cal was so nice enough to "t-vo" [is that how it would be said?] the show & she has since pointed out dora whenever she sees her on anything like a cup or at a store).
so today when i turned the tv on, it was on the PBS station & curious george was on. i started to change the channel & then noticed that addy was interested. woah! so i kept it there & she watched the entire segment (about 2 minutes, but STILL!). one thing i noticed while watching the cartoon is that addy sounds eerily a lot like the monkey, george! & she does things like he does...i've put a link below of a segment with george taking food off of dinner plates to compost & addy loves to take non-trash items & put them in the trash & then we look everywhere for that item; sadly, it's happened more than once. so the link is to help everyone get an idea of what i'm talking about: listen to george making noises & bopping all over the place. that's my daughter, the monkey. love it.

and has anyone else ever noticed now that you have kids that you use more of your body? for example, i can now feed amelia a bottle, hold addy's snack, have my arm around addy, & turn pages all at the same time. i'm talking about using my pinky finger & such to do things like lifting things up with my toes (socks, books, sippy cups, burp cloths) or legs (addy, a ball, the boppy, closing a door or cupboard). sometimes when i go out i feel like a pack mule...diaper bag, purse (if diaper bag is too full for my things), bjorn on, maybe pushing a double stroller, usually a hat or jacket attached somewhere, & very possibly a sippy cup (that addy has accidentally dropped) carried by my pinky .
two friends (yea christine & holli!) have offered to babysit addy & amelia this saturday so wes & i can go OUT for our anniversary. hip hip hooray! but we are having a hard time figuring out what to do. you see, we are cheap! we do have a gift card to the amc theaters, but don't know of any good movies out right now. i have thought maybe a hike would be nice, but that may take too long (b/c we'd want to drive a few hours to get some non-central ohio scenery). we've just never been a dinner & a movie couple, but that seems to be the only options that we're finding. hhhhmmm....any ideas folks?

ReplyDeleteI suggest going to that brewery up at Polaris. It is very yummmy and not too expensive.
