Lila's one true love...

Lila has recently discovered the preschool show "Caillou" and is OBSESSED with it.  If you have never had the privilege of watching this show (and I'm totally jealous of you) it is about a little bald 4 year old and his family. The show info states something like "inquisitive four year old blah, blah, blah..."

This show is pure bliss because it allows for approx 25 minutes of mommy quiet time.  Examples...

1.  It is 5pm and both kids are cranky and dinner needs to be made.  Turn on Caillou and you will be able to whip up a yummy dinner without two children crying at your feet.

2.  It is 9am and you want to get laundry done.  Turn on Caillou and you are able to take laundry up and down from basement, fold, and put away clothes in the same amount of time as one episode.

3. It is 2pm and a little certain someone does not want to nap.  Turn on Caillou and you are able to relax on the couch and snuggle with your little one for an entire episode.  Bonus if you can shut your own eyes for a few minutes.

Lila also talks about "Caillou" non-stop all.day.long. 

You ask "Lila who do you love.  Mommy or Caillou?"  She'll say "Caillou" every single time.

When I go to get her out of her crib in the morning, she says "Hi. Caillou" in her sweet little voice.  She even bypassed a daddy hug today for Caillou.

When I get her up from her nap in a little bit, I know the first thing she will ask for is "Caillou."

When she says her prayers at night, she is thankful for ducks, da-dee, "dew", and Caillou.

I guess she could be obsessed with worse things than Caillou.
