You Know Your Two-Year-Old Watches Too Much TV When...

These are probably not things that I should admit, but I have started to see and hear some things from my lil' pumpkin that indicate to me that she might watch too many cartoons.  Or it could be that she just has an incredible memory, and applies everything that she sees and hears on TV to her everyday life.

But more likely, it's the former.  If you are unfamiliar with children's programming these days, you might not recognize these references, but here goes.

I know my daughter watches too much TV when:

She refers to the burgers we're eating for dinner as Krabby patties.

She quotes Dora the Explorer on the drive to church, and I feel like I've just watched an entire episode.

She walks around the house singing, "This...is...serious..."

At nap time I say, "Do you know what time it is?" and she responds, "Time to build a word!"

She refers to the fox we saw at the zoo as "That sneaky fox."

She and her brother will stand in the kitchen and "crazy shake."

We watch an episode of Wonder Pets and she says, "Momma, wonder pets have to save the bird!"  before the Wonder Pets have even figured that out themselves.

And my favorite:

When I smiled at her and said, "Sweetie, you make my heart feel SUPER happy!" she responded in chinese.

Good thing we're about to sell our TV!  I think it's about time we took a break from her Nick Jr. "friends," and started reading more books!!  : )
