The Book of Luke - Yes, Luke as in the Apostle who's book is one of the Four Canonical Gospels in that old book that calls itself the New Testament. The same Book of Luke that begins with the most famous telling of Christ's birth (Luke 2:1-20). I decided to read the whole book this month and it has single handedly saved my grinchy heart this season.
It also starts out with one of my [least] favorite topics. Infertility! It tells of Elisabeth and her husband Zacharias and their struggles with infertility. In case you aren't hip to it, Elisabeth is the mother of John the Baptist and cousin of Mary, the mother of Jesus. How much would it have sucked if she didn't get pregnant with John prior to Mary getting pregnant with Jesus? Nothing like being "well stricken with years" and "barren" (Luke 1:7) and finding out your underage cousin is pregnant out of wedlock :) I tease, I tease!
Curious George the show on PBS Kids - I rely on this crazy little monkey every morning for 30 minutes of uninterrupted time to make progress towards getting myself and River out the door. River is still not all that interested in TV but will drop everything to watch Curious George run amok. And he'll laugh and point at George throughout the entire show. It is just one big, 30 minute ball of productivity and cuteness :)

THe first show Nadia liked on tv (not counting VeggieTales dvd's) was Curious George. I have been impressed with the show - they teach a lot of science and math on it. I wish Nadia wasn't interested in tv. Count that a blessing that River isn't!
Ruth, the math and science is something I love about the program, too. Plus I love that it tows the "green" line and includes recycling and reuse in the story lines :)
