She likes My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake and Pooh. Maybe the first couple are a girl thing?<BR/><BR/>It is wonderful that she can sit and watch a full DVD now. For so long I was lucky to get 10 minutes of a break before she was bored. So I'm enjoying it immensely!Mozi Esmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078786257885681829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779241084915059888.post-28602879257352027712009-02-16T20:23:00.000-05:002009-02-16T20:23:00.000-05:00no judgements here- I know that the tv can sometim...no judgements here- I know that the tv can sometimes be a mommy's best friend- as long as you limit it, like you do, I have no problems with it<BR/><BR/>Riley likes choo-choos too.

Nothing else.<BR/><BR/>I also find it funny how it seems like ALL boys have the Thomas obsession. What's up with that!?! Don't you wish you were the creator of that one! For girls it seems to be the princess thing. Oh well at least Thomas has a good message behind it.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446068595456304072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779241084915059888.post-52231633347139451572009-02-16T18:19:00.000-05:002009-02-16T18:19:00.000-05:00right now we are stuck on the baby einstein music ...right now we are stuck on the baby einstein music ones...b/c he likes to dance! otherwise its dora, he does like thomas too. last week it was elmo, don't even know where elmo came from as we don't usually watch it.Out of the Box into the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883295843532271705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779241084915059888.post-17293312997901854402009-02-16T17:55:00.000-05:002009-02-16T17:55:00.000-05:00Yes, they sure do develop favorites.

If I need a few minutes to get some housework done or some mental break time...LOL!<BR/><BR/>But I really try to balance our interaction time with their free play time and then some TV time. And I ALWAYS have educational TV on rarely are they watching some random cartoon:) <BR/><BR/>And that's what works for us!
