Sesame Street is for Babies4
As I’m sure everyone is well aware, it’s strongly recommended that children under 2 years of age watch no television. And in spite of how difficult it was going to be, I really did intend to try and at least keep the television out of the picture until at least a year.
But with Dorrie literally living in the living room about 5 feet from the television, it’s just proved impossible to keep her from seeing it at all. If she happens to notice it’s on when she’s awake, she will often try and rotate herself to see it. So we’re working on viewing in moderation instead, and have started recording episodes of Sesame Street to have them available when she decides she wants to watch.
But Dorrie, while she currently tolerates Sesame Street, is not really a big fan. She was cranky this afternoon and condescended to watch part of an episode, sucking furiously on the pacifier she insisted I hold in her mouth at just the right angle.
But after that was over, we began watching this
and suddenly she was all smiles.
Hee. Could it be that you were laughing and she reacted to your happiness?

I would like to think that, but no, I went to the bathroom and came back and she was cracking up.

(cousin Matt here) haha, yes! I’m glad to see Dorrie’s already developing a more refined taste in news media.

I was going to suggest Teletubbies, but hey, if you can watch Daily Show for the same effect, then forget the scary Teletubbies. :)
