"I'm a map..."

I feel very proud, and oddly defeated, to announce that we have officially introduced the new and outrageous cultural icon Dora the Explorer into our home. I never thought I'd see the day. Besides Ducktales, it's one of the few shows that Jayda will really watch with a fervor. Is that a good thing? It is when I'm trying to get the dishes done or take a shower. However, I can already tell, if not for anything more than my own sanity, that Dora is going to have to be capped at some point. When I go to bed thinking to to myself "Swiper, no swiping!" I know that there is a problem. Hopefully, the problem will take care of itself in the next few days seeing as I will be back to normal soon! And when that happens, you'll see me skipping down the street singing "We did it, we did it, we did it, hooray!" Until then, I suppose I should just be grateful that Dora is actually a very sweet and educational cartoon that I feel very comfortable allowing Jayda to watch. Because if I've learned anything, it's that just because it's animated means that there's no guarantee my kids should be watching it, yikes!
