Barney's Influence..

Ashwin watches Barney twice a day.He simply loves that purple Dinosaur.You won't believe how much influence it has on Ashwin....One example would do good.Ashwin usually takes a nap in the morning around 9.00- 10.00 for 45 min to 1 hr.Then he wakes up, plays for a while...has his Lunch and again takes a nap for about 2 hrs in the afternoon.But,on weekends he mostly skips his morning nap and has only the afternoon nap.He would just keep playing with Dad.

That was a Sunday afternoon.He skippled his morning nap as usual.The lunch was a lil late that day.It was already 12.00p.m.Ashwin felt very sleepy.He laid down on the couch and slept at 12.15p.m. kinda.I didn't wanna wake him up immediately.My husband and I had lunch...and waited for him to wake up.It was almost 1.30p.m. and he was quite asleep.It was past his lunch time too.We tried waking him up and he just wouldn't. He was sound asleep.My husband got a spark..he switched on the t.v. and played Barney that was previously recorded.This starts with.."Thank You for Viewers like you"...and the Barney music plays.As soon as he heard that Thank You note...his eyes opened.Then when the Barney music played...he was immediately awake...all fresh..no signs of sleepiness...no wyning...and in no time he jumped from the couch and started dancing..All in just 3 min!!!
