Global Problems
Charis has the Hug and Learn Globe from Leap Frog and at first glance it is really kind of neat. Kids can start learning early about the world and it plays neat catchy tunes. The thing is when it is on every time it rolls or moves it plays a neat catchy tune and when it is your child’s favorite toy of the moment the neat catchy tune becomes quite annoying. The globe has a tag on it as well with all the manufacturing information; we always keep the tags on Charis’s toys because she LOVES tags. She enjoys carrying the globe around by the tag causing it to play its little tune constantly. Yesterday even Charis got tired of the music after crawling around with the globe for about 15 minutes she crawled to me with the globe in hand and started crying as soon as I turned the globe off the crying ceased. It was quite humorous! This morning she wanted the globe on again and began crawling around the house dragging the globe by the tag. Anytime I tried to turn off the globe she would cry. Anytime I got near her and acted like I was going to take the globe away she would cry. She is pretty passionate about this globe. It is interesting to see what she gets attached to and how she reacts to things. If the globe keeps being her favorite toy and she only likes it on we may have to accidentally miss place it soon just for my sanity.
It’s amazing how they have favorites already!
Hopefully she’ll move on to something new soon. Did she ever move beyond Goodnight Moon?

We are still pretty pasionate about Goodnight Moon. She also likes Brown Bear a lot now as well.

So she drags it around while she’s crawling? How talented can one kid be?
It’s hilarious that even she gets tired of the music. What would happen if it just wasn’t on? Just wondering. You two crack me up!

She does get mad when she wants it on and it is not on! She is a funny kid! She will set there and whine and shake the globe.

Maybe with her mountain climbing skills…this globe is a good thing. Geographically speaking.
