Who says TV teaches bad habits?

Draya is a big fan of the Treehouse show The Big Comfy Couch. One of the 'bits' in every show is the Ten Second Tidy where Loonette stands on the couch, looks down and says "Who made this big mess?". The camera zooms in on her (usually) and she says "Who? Me? Well then I better clean it up - it's only fair". So, now when there is a big mess in the living room (or elsewhere) I say to Draya "Who made this big mess?" and she says "Who me? Draya? I'll clean it up - it's only fair" and helps me tidy. It's great!
Sometimes she'll even pick up after herself without being asked. A few nights ago we were playing with her little people. I went to work in the computer room and Draya came in a little while later carrying a shoe box full of all of her little toys saying "I cleaned up!".
I am so proud! I wonder how long it will last? :)

Cars & Ogres & Shoes

Today I turned on the t.v. and flipped thought the channels to Treehouse for Draya. She made me go back 3 channels so that she could watch NASCAR Racing instead. It only held her interest for a few minutes but it was funny. It's all because we watched Cars last weekend. Shrek is still her big hero though. She talks about Shrek & Donkey & Dragon ALL the time and loves playing with the Shrek toys we got from McDonalds & Save on Foods.
Draya also insisted on walking down the stairs in my heels tonight - with help from Daddy of course. Usually she just walks around in them upstairs.

Recent Events Caught on Camera

Last week we walked into the living room and found Draya watching T.V. like this...

Status Update

Draya had her 2 year (26 month) check-up today. She is 25.5 pounds. As always, I have forgotten how tall she is but she IS petite, in about the 30% percentile size wise, but well proportioned. But we'll be keeping her on 3% milk. I also need to get a little more fiber into her diet.
On another note, I am going to actively try curbing her T.V. watching. Some days she sees close to 3 hours! I was reading an article in the Dr's office & as I have known all along, that is too much! And clips & movie trailers on the computer will count towards her T.V. time too.
The good news is that Draya LOVES to be outside and for walks. As soon as it dries off again here we'll probably go to the park every night that we are at home.
Last night I took Draya to the opening of the Sp Gr library. She coloured a puppet, decorated a cookie and had great fun splashing in the puddles in the parking lot! We even took out some Mercer Mayer books for her.
