The Big Purple Dinosaur

This morning as I rushed out of the house forgetting that Zeland was out of diapers at daycare not remembering until I pulled into parking lot at daycare. Thank goodness that Walgreens is right next to daycare so I started to back out to go to Walgreens and Zeland lost it! Saying school school school (well more like kool,kool,kool)crying and pointing at school. This went on inside Walgreens until I pulled into the parking lot at school he stopped crying and started laughing he was so happy. He was all smiles as I dropped him off. I said goodbye and gave him a kiss but he hardly even noticed. I called Andrew after I got back in the car and he said "Dont feel bad he just wants to watch Barney." It's true my kid is obsessed with Barney thanks to daycare. They let the kids watch barney in the afternoon while they wait to be picked up and sometimes in the morning. Either way Zeland doesn't acknowledge our presence when Barney is on. I did use this to my advantage the other day to get some stuff done. Is it bad barney babysat my kid for a full 40 min?

Barney at daycare!?!? Hahaha! Sesame Street is the only show Aurora likes and it's only on in the morning. I've considered getting a tivo just so she'll have something to watch after daycare as well :)

We have Netfilx that we can get movies through the xbox so I have put some Barney on there so that Z can watch barney anytime which as I found out is super good when I really need to do something without Zeland

Nice simple way to keep Z occupied. My favorite was Garfield Goose!

I think you need "breaks" whenever you can get them. If Barney works, then use him. I have to confess that my two boys were babysat by the TV, cartoons and video games and they turned out okay(I think. At least they were smart enough to marry beautiful,intelligent, good women and have beautiful, intelligent children.) Zeland gets lots of personal attention from you, Andrew, Cameron, Matthew and everyone else around him. I think he is doing quite well.
