Applause worked great in our house of all daughters. I often used, "Go potty in the big-girl toilet and I will tell you a story afterwards." Too. Much. Fun. Just wait until you start making-up stories about TtTE- your kid will poo like crazy to hear your stories.

Kids will do many things to 'please' their current fav... James would probably love to watch E gobble down whatever food he may protest over too. Keep this in mind down the road, there's many ways to parlay his current fav into a bribe. Currently Xbox is very happy with mine when he's doing his best homework....

Thomas makes me want to cry. I have a solution, but E's not quite ready for it. Thomas is now just a memory in my house, but that is only because we introduced Star Wars. You probably have a long few years in front of you. I prefer Barney to Thomas. Thomas makes me want to cry. I have a solution, but E’s not quite ready for it.

The train love is so extreme in this house that if we're driving and see a train, I have to pull over so we can watch all 200 cars go by. Yet, I still like Thomas more than the pumpkin love, which last year saw #4 carrying around miniature pumpkins until they started to rot and had to be replaced. When they stopped selling pumpkins, he consented to carrying around acorn squash. .-= Tracy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IHateMyMessageBoard/~3/I-EABQMf_Qc/" rel="nofollow">Who wants to be rich and happy?</a> =-.

I've only seen it a few times, but the times I did see it, E loved dancing along to it. It's an active show rather than a passive one, like Thomas, so in my mind, Barney would be the better kid's TV show if it gets kids off the couch. I loved Scooby Doo when I was a kid. Do they even air new episodes or is she watching the classics? MommaSunshine - Fortunately, I haven't had to deal with Dora yet. Is that strictly a show that girls are into or boys, also? The only football shaped headed kid I like is Stewie from Family Guy. Hayden - Mr. Rogers isn't on in our local TV market so no. There IS a train at a mall just out of town which we might take him to ride on, though. Tara – Wow, EVERYBODY seems to hate Barney.
