100 Things - Day 5

[polgara_5]

So Miss Thing has adopted her father's need for the tv to constantly be on as background noise. She doesn't always watch but she likes for 'her shows' to be on when she turns her head to the tv screen. In addition, she's gone through 'favorites'. Phineas and Ferb was the first, and mostly because she loves the music in it. I can frequently catch her dancing to it and I've downloaded enough songs to play in the car as well. From there, she moved on to Short Circuit. Yeah, I don't get it either. And she likes the first one rather than the second one. But we went through the "Number Five" thing for a while

Then came Winnie the Pooh, which was a little tough because there aren't that many Pooh videos out there, and that's counting the newest one. Then overnight it was Mickey Mouse, and again, hard to find for a while. We were stuck watching some christmas special for nearly three weeks. She knows Mickey's Christmas Carol by heart - stating what's going to happen on screen before it does.

Currently, her love is Scooby Doo which makes the hubby happy because it's his favorite cartoon. This morning she kept asking "Where my Shaggy go?" until we started the disc for her. *shakes head* My Shaggy indeed.

Miss Thing has good taste. :) I loved the first "Short Circuit" movie, too.

If you have a local dollar store or Big Lots type place, you might be able to find DVDs of old cartoons there for a buck a piece. If you want to introduce her to the classics, you can check Ebay for Kimba the White Lion and Netflix streaming for other old classic cartoon series.

We've looked, but the big problem is trying to steer her away from her in the moment favorite. I've got a decent collection of the big Disney movies and other cartoons but they don't always hold her attention. She only had a passing interest in Dumbo despite liking elephants and the same with Lady and the Tramp and she loves dogs. *sigh* I keep putting new stuff in hoping it will work, but she frequently wants the current favorite instead.
