sesame street

[Guest guest]

Before you get too bummed about cookie monster...

We haven't watched sesame street here in a while (ds doesn't get tv

time until homeschool is done, and sesame street is on at 8am), but we

watched it this morning so that i could see what the fuss was about for

an article i am writing.

 

anyway, cookie monster did not sing his song today, nor did he eat the

letter of the day cookie that he used to. The letter of the day was

just a big green foam thing that he pretended was a chocolate chip

cookie (with sprinkles), and then he gobbled it in true cookie style.

The show talked a lot about getting enough rest, exercise, and healthy

eating. Something was mentioned in almost every segment.

 

As for the " cookie is a sometime food " ...

In the article i read, when the song is done, he asks " is sometime

now? " He is told, " yes " and gets a cookie. He still stuffs his face,

and he will still eat cookies (though not always choc chip... some

healthier options, too), and he will still eat the occational object

(like the letter E this morning).

 

Some was obvious, some was more subtle, but the show spent a lot of

time on good health today. A lot of focus on veggies, rest, and

exercise. My 5 year old was jumping, hopping, and running with them as

they invited him to do it, too.

 

Hope this helps.
