How Mamaloo scored some blue Dora socks
Filed under: Toddlers Preschoolers, Preschoolers, Work Life, Media, That's Entertainment
What
lengths we parents will go to in order to score clothes that proudly display licensed cartoon characters. Especially,
Dora. I've begged and pleaded with Viacom to provide
some Dora clothing and gear for
boys, and have largely been unanswered.
Mamaloo's in my same boat - she has a boy who loves Dora, but all the clothes she's been able to find have been pink and too frilly to be purchased under our current societal norms. Until the case of the socks. She and her sister both received two-packs of character socks for their children for Christmas. Mamaloo got Blues Clues, and her sister got Dora. Only... one of the pairs of Dora socks was blue! Well, mostly blue, with some pink writing, but whatever. Mamaloo saw her chance and pounced on the confused sister, trading one of her pairs of Blues Clues for the coveted blue Dora socks. And Keiran? He couldn't be happier.

Blind Parents' Kids Are More Developed in Certain Areas
A study about the children of blind people has shown that they may have an adaptive advantage over children whose parents can see. Researchers from La Trobe University in Melbourne and the University of London studied five children who had primary caregivers that were blind. When tested, the children frequently scored better on memory and attention tasks compared to children with parents who could see.

They made my husband wince, but my little boy loved them and wore them to bed all of the time. And there was none of that societal pressure nonsense to deal with.

Nicola said...We actually managed to get licensed unisex Dora t-shirts at the Dora live show (which was, in itself, a huge hit). They were selling white t-shirts in a couple of different styles, nothing at all girly about them. $15 each wasn't cheap, but we were too thrilled to complain.

Eva said...Have you ever concerend getting transfer paper and just doing a home-made print screen t-shirt? We were very into that for a while. In fact, we'd scan drawings the kids made and put their own artwork on their special t-shirts.
