So I believe I’ve written before about Natalie’s extreme love for the cartoon The Backyardigans. I must admit myself that it is a really cute show with very catchy songs. Thanks to my friend Anna and the copy of the Backyardigans music CD she gave us, these songs are really stuck in my head ALL THE TIME! Anyway, besides the show itself Natalie loves all things Backyardigan including these little plastic toy figures of Pablo and Uniqua (2 of the characters from the show). Lately she carries at least one of them with her much of the time. Last night she refused to give up Uniqua and drank her entire bottle holding the bottle in one hand and Uniqua in the other.
First thing this morning she found Pablo and Uniqua and was crawling around with both of them in her hands. I put her in her chair for breakfast still holding them. I put Cheerios on her tray and she looked like she really wanted to eat them but could not figure out how to pick them up while still holding her toys. So I gave her milk and this is how she attempted to drink it:
For the record, she almost did it. Just when the straw touched her lips she dropped the cup. After that she must have decided that the toys could wait and she dropped them in favor of eating breakfast. Oh, and she also likes to hold them while watching the TV show. SO CUTE!!!
I LOVE IT! Ella and Luke have corrupted another child with their of the BYardigans.
