If anyone of you can name that song, you win mother of the year award. The prize? A night out of your house and away from Disney Junior. I don't mind Disney Junior. I actually prefer it over some of the other mind numbing crap that's currently called "educational" shows. Spongebob? We call know to understand that, one needs to be remotely numb with alcohol or some other mind suppressing recreation. Beyond this, I just wanted to give two thumbs up for some on of those shows out there, that not only teach children about numbers, letters, math, and other facts that my child loves to bring up.
I know that I limit her television intake, I also do other activities for her relating to whats she learned in school. Such as making it rain since munchkin is learning about rain forest.
(for those of you who will know what I'm talking about.) We've made dancing leprechauns for St. Patrick's day, rainbows with fruit-loops etc. Munchkin can also not only recognize her sight words (which is all that is required by school) but can also SPELL each of them. I know it sounds crazy and everyone's probably wondering, well DUH I mean come on. For her age group this is an amazing accomplishment! We've worked incredible hard on our part to go this far with this much success and honestly, seeing how proud she is of herself is all the reward we need!
Well, we will be having some life changing situations coming up for Munchkin where we will not have her all the time. I'm afraid that munchkin will go back to how she was before. The attitude, the hitting, the lack of trying etc. I'm not sure how this is going to work out but I'm incredible nervous, and scared and all of the things that any parent, step parent etc would feel. At place B (that's what we will call it) She's put in front of a T.V. with no interaction, no one plays with her, challenges her, or makes her think. As long as Munchkin is quiet that's all that anyone cares about. I'm not sure how well she will do, or I for that matter with all these changes.
I asked Lumber Jack if he wanted me to get another job, or do something for that time that I will be away from Munchkin and he said theres no need or point to do it. So I guess what am I going to do with free time? My house is already cleaned, organized and stuff... Maybe next I'll get a dog?
