Netflix is hazardous and helpful to Baby C

Older British cartoons are all the rage here in Texas, at least at our house. Kipper the Dog is a slow-paced cartoon about a dog and his friends, all with British accents.

Baby C loves the show, and decided to emulate lots of the language from the episodes she craves daily. She re-uses the language for her own purposes. Now, instead of saying, "I wanna do it now," she says, "I'll have a go."

In another side effect of the show, Baby C also now occasionally sucks her thumb like Arnold the Pig. Why? This cartoon is causing progression and regression all at the same time. While sucking her thumb, which enrages her father, Baby C is grinning through it, enjoying the infuriation it causes. I have to laugh, which makes it one of those lovely vicious cycles.

So let's have a go at a great weekend. May it be full of language from faraway lands but no thumb-sucking.
