We wake the girls up each morning at 7:15 and snuggle in the Master Bedroom and watch various kids programming on The Learning Channel (and, sometimes, PBS or Disney). One particular morning, we moved into the office/playroom and continued the morning lineup. At some point, A Baby Story came on (one of Mommy's favorite shows). Mommy was distracted checking email and bloglines but soon noticed that Gwen was instructing Maddy to "Push Push PUSH!". When I looked up, I saw Maddy flat on her back with her feet in the air and Doctor Gwen shouting instructions. Like any good Blogger Mom, I grabbed the camera and asked them what they were doing. Maddy said she was "... baby come out" and Gwenny summed up the whole experience by looking straight at me and declaring: "It hurts!"
Sorry if this is Too Much Information (TMI). It's just another day in our family's life. The childbirth experience, I believe, isn't something to shield or protect our little girls from (they're three years old). It's just a natural part of life and something they (as females) will someday experience -- but hopefully after college and after finding the perfect man (like their Daddy).
I'm pretty careful about what they watch on TV because I know their little brains are always processing stuff. This is just one more example of how important it is to pay attention.
I had a great laugh with this post. Funny how Gwenny chose to be the doctor and let Maddy do all the "hurting". (smart girl) :-)
To funny!

That is not that bad. I had Emma watching Dora in the living room and I was watching Harry Potter in the kitchen while I was cleaning and didn't hear Emma come and she saw Dobby!! She started to kind of cry and say "no Dobby!" Dobby was trying to hit his head with the lamp, oh my! It wasn't that she got scared it was more because he was trying to hit himslef with the lamp and Harry was trying to stop him. She is not that good with people doing naughty things, not sure why.

Oh my gosh, girls after my own heart! I was home sick last week and the thing that made me even happier than a day off from work was the realization that I got to stay home and watch "A Baby Story". Next, I'd like to see them re-enact my second favorite show, "10 Years Younger". LOL!

Oh Donna that is so funny! They are going to have the best memories. You do a wonderful job at recording them and scrapbooking them.
