Peanuts for all generations
I have a four-year-old, as many of my blog readers may know. It is such a struggle to find appropriate things for her to watch on TV. I’ve had to rule out all channels that show commercials, because they are bombarding my poor kid with all thes things she now thinks she desperately needs to own. Other shows supposedly suited for children in her age group are often too violent or show children who are defiant.
Thank goodness that last Halloween I DVR’d the Peanuts Great Pumpkin special and found out that Gigi loves the Peanuts. I subsequently recorded all the Christmas specials, the Valentines Days one and the Easter one. I have them set so they won’t erase and she watches them over and over.
Not only do we both love to watch the shows together, I can trust the content. That’s a huge plus. Over on The Passionate Ailurophile, Christine is running a nifty little contest. She has picked out three things she wants to buy for herself and is inviting other bloggers to talk about one of the items. There will eventually be voting for the best entry and once a winner is chosen, Christine will buy two copies of the winning item — one for her and one for the winning blogger.
Of course, I chose the The Complete Peanuts 1950-1954 Boxed Set. As my daughter learns how to read I can think of no better words for us to share than those of Charles M. Schulz.
