You know your daughter might be watching too much Curious George when she starts talking like a monkey.Seriously.
The last few days, when Tralee gets excited about something she'll clap her hands, shout "Yay," and then say, "Ooo Ooo Ahh Ahh" just like George.
Now that the weather is nicer, and Hunter is a little older, we've been spending a lot more time outside. Yesterday we went to the zoo (pictures soon to come), today we went to a neighbor's house and played in their big yard, a few days ago we took Tralee to the beach near our house again. It's been fun, but when we're home and I'm feeding Hunter, or cooking dinner, and Jim's not around to amuse Tralee, I often find myself turning to the boob tube to keep her occupied while I can't be hands on with her. When I ask Tralee what she would like to watch her answer is always the same: "GEORGE!!!" She loves that little monkey.
I just ordered some used Curious George books from Amazon, and hopefully we can incorporate those into the George mix. A lot of times Tralee and I will read stories while I'm nursing Hunter. But let's face it, I'm not a perfect mom, and there are times when I DO use the TV to entertain Tralee when I can't. The only side effect I've noticed thus far is my child is starting to sound like a monkey. Hmmm. . . I can't decide if I need to be worried about this, or just keep laughing every time I hear Tralee say, "Ooo Ooo Ahh Ahh!" Any thoughts?

YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO KEEP TRALEE OCCUPIED WHILE FEEDING HUNTER.
SHE WILL NOT GET HURT WITH A LITTLE TV, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE PEACE OF MIND AND WHILE SHE IS IN FRONT OF THE TV YOU CAN WATCH AND KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING ALL THE WHILE.
SOMETIMES MOM'S HAVE TO DO WHAT IS BEST AT THE TIME, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB OF RAISING YOUR LITTLE ONES I'LL VOUCH FOR THAT.
LOVE YOU AND FEEL FREE TO DO WHAT IS BEST AT THE TIME GOD BLESS

Leslie, I have found myself doing the exact same thing, except at our house it is Dora! I agree with Nana...you do what you have to do!
