First Lollipop and the YouTube Monster


Starting out this post with a pet peeve: People who don't bring anything for their children to play with at Doctor's offices. It's a crime, I tell you! How can people honestly expect a young child to sit still and be bored for a whole hour while they wait to be called back? It's so unrealistic and it never works out that way. People need to bring toys for their kids. Don't leave the house without some form of distraction, ever!!


Obviously we went to the Doctor's office today. A-chan was very well behaved and enjoyed playing and drawing her letters. But when it came to letting the doctor examine her dada she got a little uncooperative. She insisted on standing between his feet! Luckily the doctor was unfazed by this and offered her a bribe. It didn't work very quickly because she had absolutely no idea what a lollipop was and kept refusing it. I finally talked her into having the candy and happiness resumed it's normal course. At least normal for a doc's office. A-chan very much liked the lollipop, her very first one.


The YouTube Monster started out so innocuously. A little anime music video that Ketu was watching on his computer and that A-chan immediately latched onto as the bestest thing ever. After a while he got tired of using his computer to show the video over and over and over...so he put a link to it on her computer and showed her how to work it. I'd swear we listened to it 20 times today alone. She loves to dance to it but has yet to do the moves as they are in the video.
