Wonder Pets

I always thought that I would be the type of parent that restricted television. I am quickly learning that when Darby said "never say never" when it comes to parenting, she was absolutely right. A few months ago, I somehow stumbled on the show the Wonder Pets. I had turned on the "babysitter" so I could clean up around the house. About ten minutes later, I had to come back into the room because Railey was crying. It turns out that the Wonder Pets had come on and a kitten was stuck in a river in distress. From there, we were hooked.

Last night, Railey and I sat down to watch Wonder Pets, which had a Bengal Tiger for this episode. For those of you who know Railey, tigers are her absolute favorite. This is partly because she likes to impersonate them growling and also because she gets to visit them at the zoo. We sat down to watch the show and almost immediately, the was sobbing....HYSTERICALLY. She kept saying "poor Tiger" and "Tiger has a boo boo." She sat in my lap and every couple of minutes would bury her head in my shoulder.

After the show, I had to bandage her stuffed Tiger's paw and talk her off the ledge for about one hour. My sweet caring little girl.

I am now convinced that our little animal lover Railey is going to be some sort of animal trainer or animal doctor. That, and Paul and I are going to have to spend thousands for all of the animals that she brings in over the next 18 years....
