I checked out a DVD at the library called Baby Van Gogh. It is part of the Einstein series. I own several of these. This one explores colors through art, music, and video. I like it. I think I will buy it when Daphne is older and can understand it better. The funny part is that the host is a goat puppet (Vincent Van GOAT, get it?). Anyway, the funny thing is that the goat puppet has a bandage tied around his ear. Funny for adults, but how do you explain that to your toddler. Do you just say the goat has a boo boo? I am not sure what I will tell Daphne. Maybe I will be honest and tell her the truth.
Which leads me to my next topic. I know that I just used the word boo boo but, there are words that I hope that Daphne never uses. Here is a short list:
1. Potty (I hate it when I hear kids use this. I would much prefer her to say, "Mommy I have to urinate." I know this is not realistic so I will settle for, "Mommy I have to go to the bathroom.")
2. Smelt ( I have heard this a lot around Iowa. I heard a woman recently say, "I smelt the Yankee Candle all the way down the mall.")
3. Burger ( I just hate how it sounds like buger!)
That is all I can think of now. I will have to ponder some more.
