a new obsession

Rebecca is officially obsessed with The Wiggles.  It all started about a week ago, when Rachel was watching a show on Sprout, and The Wiggles came on after her show.  Rebecca liked it, and kept asking for more.  A few days later, Daddy got out an old Wiggles video we had for Rachel and put it in for Rebecca.  Rebecca sat for several minutes to watch it.  That's the longest she'd ever watched anything. 

Over the last week she's asked for it over and over and over.  I got a new one out of the library so we've alternated between them.  And each time she watches it (once per day for the last week, I guess), she'll sit still for a longer amount of time.  Today she lasted almost the entire video!

Most parents want to "unplug" their kids, and not have them watch as much TV, but since Rebecca hasn't been remotely interested in anything up until this point, I'm thrilled that she's finally interested enough in something to sit still so that I can get something else done for a little while! 

So tonight I dug Rachel's old Wiggles guitar out of the toys that are put away in the basement.  Oh. My. Goodness.  Rebecca went crazy over it.  She knew just how to hold it and danced while she played it--it's the cutest thing ever (I got it on video, and maybe one of these days I can put it on here). 

I tried to put her to bed tonight and she kept crying, "'tar?  'tar?" because she didn't want to go to bed.  She wanted to keep playing her guitar.  She finally gave up her crying and went to sleep, but I'm sure tomorrow morning she'll be much more interested in her 'tar than she is in whatever is in her Easter basket!!!

It'll be a busy blogging week next week....  There are Easter Egg Hunt pictures to post (from this morning), tomorrow's Easter pictures, and Rachel's birthday pictures (Monday is her birthday). Exciting times 'round our house!!
