{singing} "Dora, Dora, Dora the Explorer!", "Go Diego Go!"
These two songs are constantly being heard in my head or coming out of my mouth... thanks to Avery! She is absolutely obsessed with Dora and Diego. She loves the cartoons, which is all she ever wants to watch- episode after episode- and asks to watch it the minute she wakes up in the morning. She also insists on wearing her Dora pull-ups and throws a fit on the occasion when we have run out of Dora and must dip into the Princess 'reserve'. Often she will also dig through her drawer until she finds a pair of Dora panties to put on over the Dora pull-up as well. It doesn't stop there! Avery has a small Dora figurine as well as a plastic Jaguar (Diego's pet) that she has with her most of the time and even sleeps with.
Avery actually has an entire entourage that accompanies her to sleep: tonight she has 1 baby doll, Dora, 1 lovey, a bear and 5 blankets (2 for her, one each for Dora, the bear and her doll). As I was tucking Avery in bed tonight she asked for her baby. I laid it in the bed next to her and she said, "no, that's Dora's spot!" Dora, Dora Dora!
