Delightful! :~{
Stevie I bet she's about to hit a big milestone and she's building up some energy. The pointing and Mmmmmm!ing is great because at least you know what she wants.

tooth number five arrived yesterday, and she's worked out how to make an "oink" sound when asked what a pig says - can there be any milestones left to arrive??

Can't remember if we talked about it here, but the first few weeks of F going to nursery were traumatic, and left us all in bits. And now he's pretty delighted with things. Still not too wild about other kids, but I think it's mostly because he's still finding his feet and they're all high-speed.

Yeah Ivy is in the process of moving to the toddler room which needs to happen ASAP because she basically mauls little babies with kisses and attention now. I never thought she'd be too rough for anyone, she was always so wee, but her love is intense, physical, and slobbery.

Awesome. I so want Marin to get bitten by the Peanuts bug.

I pushed a Peanuts book on Beeps. She liked it ok, but was surprised by the fact that Snoopy actually had dialogue.
― pplains, Monday, 15 June 2015 20:05 (nine years ago) link
because she had seen the cartoons already? i don't think we've shown sylvie the cartoons yet ... but I was thinking about how weird it is that snoopy is silent on those -- it's kind of a big part of the comic strip!
― tylerw, Monday, 15 June 2015 22:29 (nine years ago) link
Yeah. Heck, he does "talk" in those weird yawning squeaks and whines.

We showed Marin the xmas special this christmas. She was unimpressed, though she was 7 months old at the time.
― appropriation and whatnot (stevie), Tuesday, 16 June 2015 09:54 (nine years ago) link
She's pretty much unimpressed by tv as a whole so far, which might sound like a humblebrag but oh my god how i wish she'd zone out for thirty minutes in front of peppa pig every now and again.
Also they have a big box of off-model Snoopy toys at out local library for kids to play with, I was clearly much more excited about this than she was.

Even though I told Ava we would be walking for a good couple of hours on Sunday, she insisted on bringing the 1965-66 volume with her...

My mother-in-law introduced the boys to Peppa Pig and Doc McStuffins and I am basically overjoyed that there are children's programs out there that aren't Barney.

Doc McStuffins is popular around here, too.

Rastamouse, Mr Tumble and In The Night Garden are the only ones that get any attention from F at the moment. His wiggle during the Rastamouse credits is well cute.

haha, great pic, michael jones ... yeah we've been lugging those things around town. tried to convince her to bring some paperbacks but she refuses.

peppa pig is p great

Peppa Pig is actually awesome, agreed. I especially enjoyed one Ella watched recently where the plot involved the Pig family, some ducks and some wolves being ferried back and forth over a river in a comedy reenactment of the old logic problem.
And it only twigged the other day that Mr Rabbit is a Welsh rabbit

While Ava was hauling Snoopy and co around the East End, Lulu was taking photos (here's her at work paired with the work itself):
