9Sept2008: Day 107: How about some cheese with that Whine?

Well, I think the cold is starting to kick in some more for Makenna. We're back to that whiny, short-tempered child we had last time she was sick. She's still happy for the most part but she definitely gets more demanding and whiny when she wants something. We have to calm her down enough to tell us what the problem is so that we can all be happy. One is if she can't watch a show that she likes - or if we tell her to wait a minute before we put it on.

She loves a couple of shows over here - one is called Nina and Neurons - which is about using your different senses to figure things out. It has a main character, Nina, who does experiments with children trying to answer their questions. So for instance one child wanted to know what clouds felt like. So using the neuron of "touch," Nina brought different things for the kids to touch. One was cotton, and one was cotton candy but they called it "candy floss" - that's a new one! She did more to teach them about condensation too. Anyways, the second show is called "In the Night Garden" and it has different goofy characters - Iggle Piggle, Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy, to name a few. It's more like a Teletubbies type show. Hopefully the first show will inspire her to be some great scientist.
