It’s funny how kids just know things about you that you never realized yourself. They see the dynamics of your family in a way that adults are just oblivious to. You see, my two year old daughter, Kaydence, has an obsession with Dora the Explorer (and Diego). What toddler doesn’t these day? No complaints from me, I think she’s a fabulous role model for young children. Actually, I take that back, the one complaint I have is that my daughter now knows more Spanish than I do!
Before I go any further though, I’ll let Kaydee start…
I’m really amazed, she picked a character for every family member in our house and oddly, they all seem to fit.
Dora – of course this would have to be Kaydee, she’s the star in this house.
Boots – I love that she picked me to be her little sidekick monkey. We are like peas in a pod and go nowhere without each other.
Swiper – hubby is still chuckling over this one but it’s true, he’s known to be a swiper, especially if cookies are involved
Diego – cousin, brother, I totally see the correlation
Map – Shelbi, our dog, got the trusty role of showing Kaydee where to go.
Backpack – I find it comical that Emma ended up as the back pack. I have a feeling she sees a future of her little sister just one step behind her wherever she goes.
I only hope that in the future, when she’s hating my guts for throwing her boyfiends out the door, she remembers our days as best buds, Dora and Boots.
Oh my, she is too adorable. I love the video!
Gotta love these times,they grow up way to fast, then these days are gone forever and the movie is all you have.
Aww she is adorable
My kiddo loves Dora and Diego…I’m telling you at almost 5 she goes between 3 languages with no problems LOL
Wow, 3 languages? That’s really amazing. I’m lucky if I can remember anything from the 3 yrs of French I took in high school.
That’s really, really cute!
Smart little girl
. And adorable, too!
Me and my daughters play Blue’s Clues specially when we lose the remote control to the dog. LOL. Well, as the dad, I have to live up to the possible “disliking” of my daughters to me when I kick their future boyfriends’ asses out of our door. Nice post. Kudos!
Brings back Memories my daughter was the same way with DOra. Dora was a favorite for her. She was bilingual to the extent that if you spoke to her in english you get ignored. Lol. Standing on a chair and telling her to sit down wasn’t enough you had to tell her in Spanish then she’d sit Immediately!
Aww…that’s so cute! I love the way kids interpret things.
And man…I love her curls! 
Cute video!
That is cute. Hopefully she gets a little more used to the camera. lol
LOL Yeah, she got mad at me because I paused her Go Diego Go to “chat” with her on camera.
Aw, that’s so cute!! It’s good to see that these kid shows are actually teaching kids things instead of the mindless garbage that’s on! Sometimes, I just wish adults could have shows like these. Lol
See how brilliant children are?! I love this! It’s wonderful how their little personalities bloom and we get to see what’s really going on in their beautiful li’l heads! She’s smart and cute, what a combo!
Awwww..she’s too cute!!
So adorable. My 2 year old does the same thing with her favourite TV shows, including Dora.
Too cute!!! We are a Dora family here as well although my little girl hasn’t made such correlations to the show and our family but I think Daddy would be swiper in our house as well.
My 3 yr old son is also obsessed with Dora and friends. He even picked a Dora cake for his birthday!
That’s cute! It’s funny indeed…my kids tell me things sometimes that I look at them and say “How on earth did you know that?”….to which they answer “Because I’m smart mommy”…lol. Kids are wonderful!
That is super cute!
