Caillou

All of a sudden, out of no where, we are big Caillou fans around here. We have a couple of Caillou books and now we get to watch Caillou via PBS's Sprout on demand. I think she just likes saying his name. I do. Caillooouuuu! It becomes more wolf-howl the more tired I get.

Yesterday, riding her tricycle, she kept saying "bike like Caillou," "bike helmet like Caillou," and then simply, "like Caillou," over and over again. Today, she put a bucket on her head, which is very common, and instead of saying she was a robot, she was suddenly, "like Caillou!"

I got her Aristocats from the library, in my search of non-scary (relatively) Disney movies. She was excited about it and then suddenly, "watch Caillou!"

When she needed to take her nap, I was trying to coax her with all my motherly tactics up the stairs and into her room. I am near my wit's end having to pick her up and drag her places. Can't she just obey me? So she made it halfway up the stairs, into our living room (our LR is on it's own floor, halfway up the stairs - like a split) and started running around shrieking and saying, "like Caillou!" I then pulled the Caillou-card myself and told her how Caillou always obeys his mommy, so be like Caillou and go all the way up to your bedroom.

Suddenly, not so into Caillou.
