There aren't too many tv shows that Paige will watch. It used to only be Elmo, but she has recently become very fond of Dora the Explorer. First thing in the morning and as soon as she gets home from school she says "Watch Dora". We like Dora because it's an interactive show and Paige will follow along and participate. She calls out for Map and Backpack. She points to the screen when Dora asks where something is. She'll even attempt to say some of the spanish words that Dora teaches! She also likes Dora's friend, Boots, the monkey. Lately she's even been asking to "Watch Dora and Boots". Sometimes I'll say no and she'll then ask "Watch Boots and Dora"? As if switching the order would make me change my mind. If we say no to watching Dora she'll go down the line and then ask to watch Elmo. If we say no to Elmo then she'll ask to watch babies. She likes the show Jon and Kate plus 8. If we say no to that then it's back to asking for Dora...and Boots.
Yesterday, we were getting ready to watch Dora and there was a commercial for SpongeBob Squarepants. It was quite disturbing that she recognized him without even hearing the name and said "PongeBob Twarepants". I don't know what they watch at daycare!
In other news, yesterday I was going through her menu for daycare picking out which days she would be buying lunch from them this month. When I was done I wrote her name at the top of the page. She looked at me and said "you color my name". We were very impressed that she recognized what I wrote to be her name. That's not something we have worked with her on.
