Idle Thoughts

As I sit here watching Maddy, I'm wondering - Do they ever get tired of watching the same show over and over and over? Maddy doesn't watch that much TV but we normally have an episode or two saved to the DVR for those desperate moments when you just need a moment to think. In the past week, Maddy has watched the same episode of The Backyardigans approximately 5 times! Is that normal? Should she be looking at me and saying "duh mom, I've seen this one." I mean, I watch some pretty stupid things on TV and most times I don't want to admit I watched it the first time let alone watch it 5 times in one week!! Maybe it's different with cartoons. I mean, maybe the colors, songs, etc are more entertaining. I know toddlers are like a big sponge so maybe she's noticing new things each time she watches. I just can't imagine watching the same episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" 5 times in one week.
