Confession #5: Baby's TV Parents

We're supposed to be reading to Baby so she gets to know the sounds and cadences of our voices and of reading and all that good nurtury stuff. But seriously, I don't at all see the point of reading to a baby who can't even sit in a way where she could see the pages of the book IF she could even see the pages of the book. Instead, we'll sit with her on the couch when we watch tv. She stares off at a lamp ("oooh, light") behind us while we watch.

Unfortunately, this means that the speech cadences she's picking up are from the television characters. Thanks to the new season of The Colser, she's going to think her mommy is Brenda Lee Johnson, and thanks to D's catching up on Lost, she'll think Desmond is her father.

This may result in her developing a Southern/Welsh accent, and her first words might be "Thank yew, brother!"
