Your Backyard Friends...

Ellie has become quite the Backyardigans fan. Her Granny got her a little Backyardigans fold out chair, that she just adores. Now we have to name each character as she points to them, no less than 20 times a day.
And when she hears that theme song, she stops whatever she's doing, starts dancing, and makes her way to the chair.
She may even nap in the chair on occasion, so she is sure to not miss another episode.

How did you get her to do that? Did she fall asleep there by herself?

Jason, Katie, Ellie, Max and Will said...

Of course. She is the perfect child. Well, almost...she fell asleep, then we laid her there, in the hopes that she'll get comfortable sleeping there, so that she may eventually fall asleep there by herself. It's quite an elaborate plan, huh?

Youuuuuurrrrrr backyard friends....

Yes, Ian is also in love with Pablo, Tasha, Austin, Tyrone, and Uniquewa.

Ian had a chair like that and it became his nap spot and nighttime bed once we propped some pillows around the lower area to keep him from rolling out. The down side was that he didn't want to go back to his bed afterwards. That was the sign that we needed to move up to the big-boy bed.

She looks an awful lot like her mommy in that middle picture. Maybe she's part Marler after all...
