C is for Cookie

Youtube is one of the coolest things about the interweb.  We have used it so much to entertain the Cheese.  We've gone through several fads, beginning with the great Snuggle Puppy video that she's dug on since she was about 9 months.  Then there was Davy Jones' Personal Penguin.  Lately these two oldies, but goodies haven't been cuttin' it on the entertainment front.  Lynnie started pulling up these classic Sesame Street shorts - including Jon-Jon counting.  Everyone loves Cookie Monster, but the Cheese takes it to levels bordering on obsession.  She is the Cookie Monster groupie.

Phone

Technology is what really moves the Cheese.  Some kids like music, some kids like a favorite toy, but the Cheese is all about technology.  Anything with buttons and lights will cause her to drop what she's doing and go in hot pursuit.  I recently got a new cell phone which has become part of our bedtime routine.  Every night, either before or after her bath, she spends some time on the potty WITH my cell phone.  She holds on so tightly to that thing, I don't worry about her dropping it in there.  She has some great conversations on it, too. 

Moo Baa LaLaLa!

When the Cheese was but a wee lass of 4 or 5 months, Lynnie started reading her stories.  The Cheese loved this, especially after bath time.  We would all go into her room, and Lynnie would get her all ready for bed while I laid next to her on the floor and distracted her with the same stories night after night.   

Here she is enjoying some cereal and reciting on of her favorites with her mom.  This is Moo Baa LaLaLa.  It's highly entertaining.  

  

Waking Up

Waking up isn't always easy.  The Cheese, however, has no problems with starting a new day/continuing her day after catching some zzzz's.  She just pops up like toast, starts talking, and gets right in there.  I wish I was like her!

You can pick out somethings that she says.  I think she talks about momma, her "biddy" - that would be her blanket, and the potty.
