It’s great to watch your kids grow up.  It’s incredibly fun and satisfying to have real conversations with my three-year-old (going on thirty already).  It’s not always roses, but most of the time, it’s pretty fantastic.  He’s like a little version of me running around the house.  And, like me, he likes to be entertained.  He likes a good book, and he likes to watch TV more than my wife generally approves of.  I’m pretty cool with it.  I don’t mind watching his shows with him.  In fact, some of his shows, like The Wonder Pets and Shaun the Sheep are downright funny.

There is a side-effect of this combination of his growing up and watching TV that I should have seen coming, though, which is that the commercials are starting to register with him.  I’m suddenly being inundated with stories about these amazing new toys and games that he’s seeing on TV.  What’s more, since he watches a lot of Disney channel, I’ve learned that our Netflix queue has some unexpected new additions.  So this is what I’ll get to look forward to watching this weekend:

Wheeeeee!  I can’t tell you how excited I am for this one.
