I finally found a TV show that my husband and I both like and we can watch it together...Scandal! Since he travels a lot, I DVR each week's show so we can watch them together when we are both home. Not sure when it happened, but somehow Chey eased her way onto the couch when we were watching Scandal, and now the three of us cuddle up on the couch (and loveseat) and watch Scandal together. Yes, I know she probably shouldn't watch it, but considering she knows all of the names of the Housewives of Atlanta, how much worse can it be? Plus, her Dad and I are there to explain or to cover her eyes when something "too adult" comes on.
We had a Scandal marathon last week and we saw the episode where Olivia's mother chewed her arm so she could go to the infirmary. I tried to cover her eyes, but she did see some blood and I knew she was going to have a problem sleeping in her room alone that night.
Chey: Mommy, what if I have a bad dream about Olivia's mom?
Me: If you do, come and tell me.
Chey: I would, but you will get cranky because I woke you up.
Me: Well, you can deal with my crankiness or lay here and be scared.
Chey: I'll think about it.
Can you tell I don't like to be woken up? LOL!! She ended up coming into my room that night, but she didn't say anything. Somehow she slipped in right next to me and I didn't realize she was there until I woke up the next morning. Funny thing, she scared the crap out of ME!
