Berry Hunt

One of Abbey's favorite TV shows right now is Dora the Explorer. In one episode Dora and her best friend, Boots the Monkey, go on a 'berry hunt' looking for blueberries. One day after watching this episode Abbey told me "I love blueberries!" (a direct quote from Dora).


Eric and I decided that if Abbey was so convinced she loved blueberries we should let her try them. So at the grocery store I told her: "We're going on a berry hunt" and we looked all over the store for blueberries. Then on the drive home Abbey and I sang the little song Dora and Boots sing in the episode. Abbey was very excited to try blueberries.



Dora: Goin' on a berry hunt

Boots: Goin' on a berry hunt

Dora: Goin' to find a juicy one!

Boots: Goin' to find a juicy one!

Dora: We're not scared

Boots: We're not scared

Dora: What a beautiful day!

Boots: What a beautiful day!

So did she like them? Judging from the picture, it looks like she did.

Such fun. I'm with Russ; I want to know whether she liked them.

To answer Russ' question: as long as its her idea to eat them she likes them. We bought frozen blueberries because of the cost difference so I think it would be interesting to see if she likes fresh blueberries as much.

What a fun activity! When the snow finally melts off the tundra of Montana, you ought to take her on a real blueberry hunt.

P.S. I love blueberry jam, blueberry syrup, blueberry ice cream, and blueberry PopTarts. I don't like fresh blueberries.

Remind me to send you the Dora DVD that shows Dora getting a new baby sibling (SPOILER ALERTS: it turns out to be twins). Suzanne sent it to Skylar when I was pregnant with Trevor and she loved it.

Cute. Taylor and Jane would love it if I were that creative. Good job mom! How are you feeling?

So cute! For some reason, I only like fresh blueberries. Frozen ones always taste funny to me.
