Mr. Adam Sandler

Have I mentioned that we spend a lot of time in the car?  A lot.  We were doing fine with no video and then Charlie drove somewhere and I wasn't in the car and he introduced Amanda to the DVD player so it all started again.  We were sharing, everything was copacetic, until Amanda decided she won't watch anything except Elmo.  Okay, that's not quite true, occasionally she will let us watch Winnie the Pooh.  However, most of the time it's Elmo.

How, do you ask, does a two-year-old dictate what we watch?  Simple, she won't stop asking for it until we put it in.  If we put something other than Elmo in the DVD player, the entire time it's on she says "I want Elmo.  Mommy, I want to watch Elmo.  I don't want to watch this, I want to watch Elmo."  You can only listen to that so much, especially when you can't hear what's really supposed to be playing, before you give up and watch Elmo.

So, to mix things up a little, Amanda got The Best of Elmo 2 for Hanukkah.  The kids were sick of The Best of Elmo, so I thought I would introduce something new.  This DVD has some pretty catchy songs on it, including this one from Adam Sandler that I find myself singing a lot during the day, even when we aren't in the car.  My favorite part is the dragon that "kisses and tells".
