Arthur and the Backstreet Boys

Boy, in the last few weeks Jenna sure has been getting her fill of Arthur on PBS. Not so much that we are actually catching when it is on the TV, but her G-ma Mary has been bringing home episodes from the library for Jenna to watch. A few weeks ago Jenna fell in love with the Backstreet Boys because there is an Arthur episode with the Backstreet Boys as cartoons (by the way, it's hilarious to see what they look like). The girl, Francine (I think), is in love with Nick from the Backstreet Boys, so now Jenna is in love with Nick. Now, I was in college when the Backstreet Boys, so I never got into the whole "boy band" craze, but now Jenna is. She wants to know who my favorite Backstreet Boy is and is unrelenting until I tell her who it is - ummmmmm...I have no idea. I will admit I liked a couple of their songs when they first came out, but they really got old FAST! Here's a little link to the Backstreet Boys visit to Arthurs town.

We finally got Jenna to give that one back to G-Ma Mary (ok, I snuck it back over and told my mom she had better take it back). So, this week G-ma Mary gets another Arthur movie for Jenna - something about scary stories. Now, mind you, the stories themselves are not meant to be scary, but to teach children that there aren't monsters in their room. Thankfully, Jenna got that point. Unfortunately, one of the characters is embarrassed that he sleeps with a nightlight and doesn't want anyone to know. The point of the story is that most children sleep with nightlights. This point was lost to Jenna, who now keeps making Jason and I promise that we won't tell anyone she sleeps with a nightlight. This is her major concern right now. Thanks G-ma Mary!

And my last thought on Arthur. You know his friend, Buster, who has his own TV show? Well, Buster is Jenna's imaginary friend and we thought we had gotten rid of him, but apprently not. He came to visit yesterday and then his parents went on a date so he had to spend the night. I guess I should be thankful that Barney isn't her imaginary friend.
