Dora the Explorer

Like most little girls her age, Alyssa is a big Dora fan. Her whole little world revolves around Dora. We probably let her watch it a little too much, but I'm okay with it because it took way too long for her to show any interest in TV. We find her quoting things from Dora to us often. Things like "I need the sticky tape" or "let me see if there's something in my backpack.." She also walks around the house singing the different songs (which I'm pretty sure she knows all of them word for word) and she can count to about 7 in spanish.
This week, Danny had an event at work which he invited us to come to. The biggest reason being that Dora the Explorer was going to make an apperance at one of the booths. Alyssa was thrilled about meeting Dora. Once she was close, she didn't want to leave. We had to keep calling her away from Dora so that other people could get pictures with her. They were taking pictures to give to people, so we got one with the whole family. Unfortunately, Alyssa wasn't looking at the camera in it. When they saw her sticking right by Dora's side, they said we could have another picture. So they took one with just Alyssa and Dora.
We finally lured her away from Dora with the promise of a treat. We catch her sleeping with her picture and carrying it around like it's one of her stuffed animals. She had a lot of fun and still talks about seeing Dora at Daddy's work.
