E is really into (gasp!) Barney right now. The extra-large talking purple dinosaur is not my first pick for a TV show, but it certainly rates higher than some of the other ADHD-inducing children's shows that are out there these days.
E certainly seems to like him. And I will admit, I've learned to appreciate the fact that she is learning songs, colors, feelings, numbers, animals and many other appropriately-educational concepts that we get to carry over into our playtime together.
Take for instance, the 45 min-long car ride today that was filled from start to finish with rounds of, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," "You are Special," "Do Your Ears Hang Low," and other silly songs that bring out the biggest grin imaginable on that sweet little face. Even when it's Barney-inspired, there's no doubt that God gave her the sweetest little smile and one of the best laughs ever.
And, oh...the fun memories we will get to share with her and her teenage boyfriend one day about the times when she couldn't get enough of the "I Love You" song. You see, folks, even Barney comes back full circle. :)
