Guess what? My little girl is obsessed with the Disney movie cars. It is too funny. The television was on the Disney channel one day and a five minute movie break with the Cars characters were on it. Those five little minutes had my daughter hooked. I didn't even know she was paying attention to the T.V. which was just sort of on in the background. Turns out she thinks talking cars are hilarious. I guess that WOULD be funny. A child being somewhat familiar with vehicles to then see them talking and doing funny things would be a funny sight. Well, my dad went right out and rented the actual movie for her and she has been hoooked every since. Grant it, she only gets about 30 minutes into it before her short attention span starts to dwindle. But, hey, she's only 22 months old! It is the one thing she REALLY really watches. I mean, she runs to the couch, pulls up a blanket and WATCHES with her undivided attention. Normally, she kind of watches things while running around and playing with other things or dancing and singing along, with a few minor exceptions here and there. I mean, she will watch Barney, Super Why, Sesame Street, and Mickey Mouse Club. Those are her shows, but like I said, she rarely gives them her undivided attention. But, when I need her to really sit down so I can get something else down for a few minutes, I can count on Cars to help me out. I cannot believe my tea party loving, make-up adoring, princess dress wearing little girl loves the movie Cars! I think it is great. So does my husband who is sick of watching Barney (nobody's favorite, except Aliyah's).

My name is Nancy and I came upon your blog quite by accident. I googled a phrase about "short attention span" and your blog came up because of your post about your daughter and the movie "Cars." I was reading some of your posts and found them endearing. I hope you don't mind a total stranger replying on your blog, but all believers are really 'family.' I want to suggest a web site by the name of HomemakersByChoice.org that is a group right here in Scottsdale, AZ which I have been a member of for 9 years. Donna Otto, who is the founder, is an author of many books that encourage young women in their roles as wife, mother and homemaker. She also does a podcast 5 days a week, and there is a link to the podcast on the Homemakers By Choice web site. I am a member of the podcast team, and we record the sessions, upload them to a web site and then anyone around the world can listen to them for free. The response to the messages has been so positive. Check it out! God bless you and your family. I hope to hear from you.
Thank you Nancy for posting and for your kind words. Yes, I'm actually familiar with Donn Otto (I heard her speak at a Christian womens' conference a few years back) and I have one of her books. I think she is great and I will be sure to check out her blog.
