TV Time

When Simi was a baby, he used to love watching the Wiggles. He was between the ages of 1 and 2 and he'd watch the television screen in a mesmerized state while watching the four Australian men performing their show. When they sang, Simi would dance/bounce along -- with a great big smile on his face. He loved it.

He also watched Barney. Simi LOVED that purple dinosaur.

Asher was also a HUGE fan of the Wiggles and Barney. At the end of each Barney episode, Barney sings the same song and Asher would come up to me and say, "he's singing our song, mommy!" Then Asher and I would sing the song along with Barney and hug and kiss and cuddle. OK, so I'm a big fan of that dancing purple dinosaur too!

Leila would love to watch the Wiggles and Barney if she got the chance. Thing is, Simi and Asher control the television's remote control. The poor girl is growing up watching Ben 10 Alien Force, Transformers Animated, and Go Diego Go! Rather than learn what foods are the most nutritious or how to treat your friends, Leila runs around the house with her hand shaped like a gun, yelling "bam! bam! bam!" while shooting her brothers and imaginary bad guys - just as she sees her big brothers doing.

I wonder how this will affect her personality...
