Sophie the Explorer

Sophie is semi-obsessed with Dora the Explorer. She begins every morning shouting, "Gora! Gora!" As soon as you turn on the show and the theme song begins to play, she stills like a statue. She does not move or make a sound; she is completely entranced. No other show holds such power over her. She likes Sesame Street and Diego, but only Dora is viewed with utter reverance. Eventually, the lure of Dora proves too much and she begins gravitating toward the television, as if she can actually become one with Dora if only she can get close enough. Usually she stops and sits directly underneath the TV, but tonight Chris and I peeked in the living room and found her like this.
The sad thing is, we didn't have the heart to move her. We just left her there, happily hanging out with Dora, Boots and the gang. Perhaps this picture isn't the best example of my parenting skills, but when your kid loves something that much, it is so hard to take it away from her.
