A little obsessed...

Most of you know that Hannah is more than a little obsessed with Dora the Explorer. She watches the show EVERY night before bed.  It's pretty much the only television show that she'll sit still and watch. If she eats a good dinner then I let her eat a pack of gummy snacks as desert while she watches Dora. Guess what kind of gummy snacks...DORA SNACKS! Hannah gets oddly giddy about her "Dora snacks".  It's neat though to see her get so excited about something so simple.

Today I had a weak moment while walking through Walmart. I've never liked to dress Hannah in clothing with characters on it. Not sure why...I guess it's just not my style. Hannah was in desperate need of some new sneakers so we checked out the kids shoes. Needless to say we ended up leaving with a pair of Dora sneakers. I'm still not thrilled about it, but to see the look in Hannah's eyes once she put them on makes it all worth it. I'm still looking to find some good old fashioned Nike's for her!

Hannah insisted on wearing her new kicks with her jammies tonight. Here are a couple pictures of her watching Dora, eating Dora snacks, and wearing Dora shoes.




And yes, she is wearing Christmas pajamas!

That is too cute! It's funny how they get so into these characters and then want the characters on EVERYTHING! But hey, I'm with you...if something so simple makes them smile, go for it! I have a friend whose little 3 year year old is a mad Dora fan, too! :) Right now, Chloe LOVES Elmo (of course) and Mickey Mouse clubhouse. I love reading your blog and seeing what Hannah is up to! It gives me a little peek of what I'll be doing a year from now :) ha ha!

Very cute! I'm totally with you on the character clothes, but I see myself caving more and more too. Before, I was no character anything, but it's slowly changing. At least she likes something girlie. My girls love Cars (the movie). I just bought the Cars plates - they made their world! But, you're right. It's so worth it when you see their excitement.
