Replaced By Barney

I think all parents must feel like their child has replaced them at some point. I figured it would happen when Mikayla becomes a teenager...not when she's TWO! Mikayla was gone for one night. I know I was missed because she got this very happy look on her face when we were reunited, but this evening she just wanted to veg on her bed and watch Barney. She also was holding a stuffed animal Barney and reading a Barney book (well, looking at the pictures). She LOVES Barney.

I had said before I ever even became pregnant that my child would never watch Barney or "The Wiggles." Of course she now can't live without Barney or The Wiggles. I've learned that it doesn't matter what I want. In order to spend time with her tonight I had to watch Barney. The Little Princess gets what she wants...even if it is a very large purple dino!
