Shrekmania!

Our little Amélie is obsessed with Shrek... You want proof you say... Here you go:

6ish in the am - Amélie is waking up, holds on to her paci and doesn't want to let go of it - Strategy = say that we'll go and see Shrek when she leaves the paci in the crib... The paci is left in the crib before you finish your sentence, and you now have a very cooperative little one who is repeating 'Shrek' all the way till she sees his friendly face appear on screen...

5:30ish pm - Amélie is having so much fun in the playground at daycare that she doesn't want to go in the car - Strategy = say that we'll go and see Shrek when we get home... You should be here to watch how our little tornado of a girl transforms herself into what strongly resembles a contemplative Buddhist monk for the whole car ride home...

Of course, such adoration has led to some compromises on our part... At the supermarket, she insisted on buying these Shrek yogourts... With flavor names like Ogreberry and Donkeyberry Bash, how bad can it be?? Well all was well till she tried to eat some yogourt on her own:



Don't worry... I check her ears everyday to make sure they are not getting more and more ogery looking... With that yogourt color, I have been wondering about side effects too...
