Roy’s Latest Craze
Roy’s taste has changed this year. He used to be into Thomas the Train and Barney. However this year after being introduced to the cartoons from Cartoon Network he has been idolizing Ben 10. Ben 10 Alien Force is one of his favourite catch phrases. He is asking for a Ben 10 cake for his upcoming 4th birthday. We got him a set of Ben 10 walkie-talkies for his birthday present. He loves the fact that Ben is able to change into an alien life form by pressing on the device which he has strapped onto his wrist. Ben along with his side kids battle the aliens that attack earth. It’s the usual good guy vs bad boy type of cartoon. Roy isn’t too bothered with the storyline at this age. However he pay special attention to the different creatures that Ben is able to change into. It would be nice if we too could morph into something totally different once in a while.
My little boy has grown up as he has expanded his choice of cartoon characters from Barney and Bob the Builder to Angelina Ballerina, Tom & Jerry and Garfield on Cartoon Network.
Both Ryan and Roy love watching Tom & Jerry cartoons. I personally watched Tom and Jerry when I was much younger. Now watching it as an adult I do find that it is not as amusing as it used to be and certain scenes are really sordid with either Tom or Jerry torturing each other. I have to make sure that the boys understand what they are watching on TV only happens in cartoons and not in real life. It is not nice to constantly torture others. I do try to explain to them that Jerry the mouse is standing up for his right and getting even with Tom. However ,I do not condone of all his actions as I feel that it would be better to talk out if there is a disagreement instead of resorting to dirty tricks.
I wonder what he will be moving onto next after he turns four next month.
