'Cause I'm pretty sure He's laughing at me. Not that I mind.
I like to think of myself as pretty cool. It's a delicate little lie I tell myself. I use to look at other parents and think at least I'm still cool. I thought I hadn't totally gone to the uncool parent zone. Well not anymore. I think it happens to the best of us. One day you feel like your hanging on to your youth pretty well and the next day....
BAMM
You find yourself singing along to Barney with your toddler in your lap wondering what happened.
I can specifically remember watching Barney with Mallory thinking man, I'm so glad this fad will be over before I have kids. God apparently made a mental note and had Himself a good laugh at my expense this morning. My son loves Barney. He isn't really very into TV. He doesn't have a very long attention span, but for some reason when Barney is on at the sitters he's mesmerized. We finally broke down and bought him one video to have at home. Now he goes and gets it all the time and brings it to me saying Barney please, Barney please over and over. How can I resist that?
Now I can't even lie to myself about being cool anymore.
Thanks for reading.

but to one little man you're the coolest mama there is!!! at least you're at the top of someone's A list!
Lydia hasn't hit the TV or movie stage yet. They watch some at the sitters, but she doesn't sit still long enough. I think if she did she would enjoy it. In my life today we started a new phase for her. I forgot my camera cord at home so you'll have to check out my blog later today to see what that is.
hee hee...i'm laughing now, b/c i was uncool 5 years ago! now we're into fishing and huntin and other "cool" things!
I am with you Corin. I can remember my cousin watching Barney and I was saying "My kid will never watch Barney." Well wouldn't you know that was Ava's favorite for a long time and she still likes him. But I didn't care I was just happy to have something to distract her for 30 mins. He has saved us many times. So yay for Barney. But I am glad she is more into Mickey and Minnie now. We can have a Mickey/Minnie party instead of Barney. Yay!
lol!!!! my kids were never really in to barney! glad God got a good laugh today:)
