Lately...

It was a busy weekend... on Saturday we went to a picnic and then we went to Gardwood's Orchard to buy some fruit and honey.  It is not cheap nor more expensive than Jewel so we prefer to help the small business plus their fruit is delicious.  We wanted to pick whatever fruit was in season, but it was TOO HOT to do it.  So, we just bought quite a bit including those apple cinnamon donuts!
Then, we went to an antique store in La Porte, IN.  It is one of my favorites and found quite a bit to buy. I'll post some of the goodies later.
So, here are some of the favorite things that Arianna likes right now.  The vanity that her aunt and uncle bought her.  She puts on there the stuff that she uses quite often like her owl and colorful cups, the big cup has her brushes and Charly that was on the floor when I took this picture.

In a side note, we had banned Ni Hao Kai Lan!! She was watching an episode yesterday and there was one of the characters having lots of tantrums and angry issues, yes they were trying to teach him to relax and such, but Ari only understood the first part and today she was acting exactly like him, tone of voice, sentences, the whole thing... and for the few episodes that I'd seen this character is always getting angry and until Arianna can understand the whole concept, this program  is bye bye!  Thank God she is back to her normal self, but no more Tooey or Toolee or whatever name... :)

Kids will always mimic what they see even though the show is trying to teach them via examples.

The child only see the behaviour not fully understanding what they are seeing thus they mimic what they see. More so if they haven't seen that behaviour before.

Parent will always have to monitor the such T.V. shows and determine what's worth their child seeing.

In time Arianna will be mature enough to begin to understand that character and why you had to stop the program. I would do the same.
