barbie: life in the dream house

You guys, it is truly sad how much I enjoy watching this show.


^^ the clothes in her closet are just like the sets you buy in the store, haha.

One day a few weeks ago I found Kennedy watching Netflix on our iPad and Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse was playing. It was one of those parenting moments where you feel horrible and absent; asking questions like: "how do you know how to operate Netflix"; "how long have you been watching this show"; "why aren't you using your iPad time constructively for ABC Mouse?!" A moment when you're so awestruck because you can't believe your kid is watching this Barbie reality show trash but then you remember they are only four and particularly like playing with Barbie's (by the way Saddle N Ride Barbie is legit and totally checks out).

Fast forward from those "few weeks ago" to me looking forward to the moments when she asks me to snuggle up on the couch with her to watch a few episodes. Yeah, yeah, bad parent points for encouraging "screen time" but hell, we all need a break every now and again and this show is hilarious! The Barbie's are so very obviously supposed to be the dolls. From the way they stiffly fall down to the way they show everyday items in the scene and they are "actual size".



^^ and how suggestive is this?! Haha, they put this in for parents to keep us following along, right?

But how the hairspray is the same size as the doll? I think it's so hilarious. They aren't trying to suggest they are humans, but that they are in fact dolls.

One thing she was saying A LOT today that has me considering reducing her watch time of this show was..

SNOB-NOXIOUS

WHAT?! Needless to say I don't need her spouting off California snobby valley girlesque phrases.



Life in the drreeeAAAaaaaaam house!
