Chad and I have nearly gone insane during the last month, Kate is obsessed with "Dodo" aka-Dora the Explorer. All we hear the entire day is "I want Dodo" to the point of tantrums and screaming until someone gives in and turns on dodo. We have made good use of tivo by recording about four episodes, which I have memorized within a matter of days! Its amazing that she will sit and watch the same episode so many times! But I have to admit, although I sound like a really irresponsible parent it is an amazing babysitter when I need to get my homework done. So this week I just cant stand it one more time so I have informed Kate that dodo is on vacation and she will be out of town for a long long time.... We will see how long I can keep this going for!
Besides the babysitting qualities that Dora offers, it is also very funny sometimes. Kate will yell "map" and "backpack" randomly, we haven't quite picked up the spanish yet though. But my favorite is when swiper the fox comes on she instantly yell "Oh Man!" but it comes out "Oh Mean!!!" and she makes little fists while she yells it! So if you run into Kate anytime soon, tell her swiper no swiping and she will yell at you "oh mean!"

Ashley...This is Diana (Hardy) Cragun! How are you! I found your blog and it is so neat to be able to see pics of your cute family. Your daughter Kate is really cute! I'd love to keep in contact. Send me your email & i'll invite you to view my blog! turkeynan@gmail.com
That is HILARIOUS!!!!! Soon Claire will want Dodo too....maybe Backyardagins might be a good substitute? :) Or at least Diego? (ps--gotta do what you gotta do--you're not a bad mom!)
I just want to let you know that the obsession with dora doesn't end for a while. Gavin still loves her and Diego and he is going to be 4 in a couple of days. And once they outgrow Dora, they pick another obsession! Sydney's is Hannah Montana (yeah!).
