madelyn has always loved her veggietales "God made you special" book. she will let you read it to her over and over again. and it was one of the first books that she could 'pick out' on the bookshelf when it was story time (now we have collected many more veggietales books to work into the rotation). she gets so excited when you open the book and there is bob - the tomato - (and larry - the cucumber). her love of veggietales has really been handy since they have dvds and a tv show. i used to clip her fingernails when she fell asleep after nursing, but when she outgrew that veggietales was the only thing that would keep her attention long enough for me to clip her nails (some days i had to do one hand at a time).and then when i started weaning her i found that veggietales was the perfect distraction while she was drinking her milk from her cup instead of nursing. (speaking of weaning - i am super, super, super excited to say that madelyn is 100% weaned!! i am getting to sleep in for the first time in over a year tomorrow morning! if i sleep until 8am it will be a wonderful indulgence.)
she gets most excited about bob, but she also really likes larry and junior. and today when i started the tv show up for her milk snack (i dvr it so that we always have it when we need it) she pointed and said "bob"! (the intro to the show is just bob singing at first.) so i rewound it and got the camera. love.

Cute :) And, as a tip, I would leave tomotoes off the 'new foods' list for awhile ... just to be safe. Wouldn't want her having a panic attack over you trying to feed her the Beloved Bob :)
Too cute! I'm glad to hear I'm alone- I used Baby E videos to clip Lorelia's nails, and, too, have done one hand at a time! I'll have to find Veggietales and DVR it- we've never watched it.
Oh, and CONGRATS on 100% weaning! Yeah!!!!
