A Toddler's Perspective
Reagie and I were snuggled under our favorite blanket getting ready to watch an episode of one of our fave's "Blues Clues". As some of you may know, several years ago, the show had a transformation of "human" characters that proved to be tramatizing. It went from the original Steve to his "brother" Joe when he went to "college". At the time, I didn't have my own children but worked with toddlers on a daily basis in their homes. I think it was truly more tramatizing to the moms than the kids, b/c that's who I heard the most complaining coming from. Anyway, as Reagan and I got ready to watch and, thanks to re-runs, those tramatized mothers still get to catch a glimpse of Steve, an old episode with Steve came on. Reagan looked up at me and said "Looks like Joe needed a break today. It's Steve's turn". If only we could all be a little more adaptive like our kids.

I remember that episode VERY well. It was Isaac who was traumatized not me. What's funny is thinking back on it the fateful night coincided with the day he had his tonsils and adenoids removed, so I'm not sure if all the crying was over Steve leaving or the pain he was experiencing. LOL!!! But now when he watches Joe with Audrey he thinks he's cool and likes his new songs LOL!!
We can't have stand in Mommies for the day that our kids like just the same as us can we?
