COOKIE WOGSTER

We try to avoid exposing The Wog to too much television, but sometimes--if the dishes are piled up in the sink, for example--it's unavoidable. Recently I decided to try her out on Sesame Street. I taped two episodes--one heavily features Cookie Monster, who believes the moon is a giant cookie, and isn't it about snack time? The other is about Snuffleupagus, who is too big for ballet. (Or is the ballet to small for Snuffleupagus?)

The Wog could care less for Snuffy, and I don't blame her: he IS kind of whiney. But she loves her some Cookie Monster. As soon as she hears his grumbly voice, she smiles and hangs over the edge of the exersaucer waiting on his every "Um Num Num Num!"

Here she is, desperately struggling to see around Mommy, who is blocking the view.



Polly has never had a cookie, but some day she'll understand what all the fuss is about.
