And you know, Muppetkind is certainly buckle-worthy for me. It's the Dis.n@y Princesses that I can't get beyond. Just can't. Oh, the happiness, the wonder.

I swore up and down that I would never have a Disney Princess obsessed daughter. I didn't want to "pigeonhole" her and limit her. So we stocked up on Carebears, and Muppets, and Fraggles instead. And yet she still went beserk when she saw anything princess, so we caved. Now she has a dresser draw full of costumes, a plastic bin with princess dolls, and Ariel sheets on her bed. And I'm glad we let her. But I do agree with you- the singing toys, Elmo or otherwise, are a pain! Sometimes it’s great to be wrong.

"Dora, Dora, Dora the whore-a" (That's not the radio-edit version) Then surely, you’ve met Dora.

“Dora, Dora, Dora the whore-a”

I know... I know... many of you who will read this comment will be wrinkling your noses and gagging... But guess what? The looks on my kids faces when they meet a favorite character face to face... it is more than worth the price of admission. I have a photo (I'll have to post it sometime) of my Big J, at five years old, fully decked out in his own Captain Hook suit gravely shaking the hand of the "real" Captain Hook. He was flushed, spellbound and overcome with joy. I still melt when I look at that photo. This is how I feel about Disneyland.

Alas. Do you have the Songs from the Street CD set? We have logged many, many miles to the old Sesame Street classics. Ma-na-ma-na....

Miss Piggy will always own a piece of my heart... LOL. I'm glad you and O enjoyed the moment. When I took Bug to a fair which had a large, life sized furry monster roaming about looking for hugs, he screamed like I was trying to pluck his eyes out with a spoon. I still smile remembering the looks other parents gave us as I carted my terrorized son off...LOL. I’ve always had a thing for the Muppets. Miss Piggy will always own a piece of my heart…
