Maya has a new love in her life. Well, actually, she has four of them, dressed in yellow, blue, red, and purple shirts. Yes, Maya loves the Wiggles. It all started when Mike saw a smidge of an episode on Disney one Saturday morning, then commented later, “you know, that was kind of cute.” When I was at Sam’s a week or so later, I saw a 2-DVD package for under $10, and thought, why not?

Maya is now a Wiggle-addict, and asks for them multiple times per day. With only two videos, this gets old very fast — but at least she’s singing and dancing with them. And really, I kind of like them.

Just now, Maya pointed up at the Granny Smith apples sitting on my counter:

“Apples! Wiggles eat apples.”

Yes, honey — Anthony eats apples, doesn’t he? Would you like some apple?

“YEAH!!!”

This is a kid who’s mostly turned up her elfin nose at apples lately (in favor of pistachios and grapes). Ah, the power of a good role model.
