Mom! I want my Barneys

Published by admin under In The Begining on July 14, 2009

1st Off I would like to thank Boomerang for finally getting my child interested in her vitamins! Without you she would have no idea who the Flintstones or Rubbles were, and would never have wanted to eat her “Barney’s”.

Vera cracks me up. For the longest time Matthew and I have been trying to get her on a multi-vitamin. She doesn’t have a very balanced diet, and we can’t get her to touch vegetables at all. We  decided on Flintstone vitamins because they honestly are the most complete multi-vitamin for kids on the market. Also you can give them to children under the age of 3 if you split it in half. We found that there were only a couple other vitamins that you could give to children as young as Vera, and we could only find them at Sun Harvest. They were also charging you an arm and a leg for them.We introduced them into her routine awhile ago, but it wasn’t until recently when she started watching the Flintstones, and Dad made it look cool to take your vitamins that she actually warmed up to taking them. However she’s been saying it for awhile, but for some reason today (maybe lack of sleep) it was extremely hilarious to me. During her morning routine she always takes her half-a-vitamin after brushing her teeth. Most of the time she gets impatient for it because now she really likes them, and keeps harassing me during putting lotion on her for her “Barney”. For some unknown reason I didn’t get why she was calling them that until today. Yes you can laugh at me. If anything I didn’t know why she wasn’t calling them “Freds” or “Dinos” . No, my daughter identifies with the short little sidekick Barney Rubble who isn’t even the main character of the show haha. She is pretty observant for a two year old. I am almost 23 years old and I was like “WTF? Why is she calling them Barney’s”. I honestly didn’t remember who he was haha. I was cracking up at her, and she was like “Funny?”. I couldn’t bring myself to explain to a two year old that her mom is retarded….that cartoon was around even before I was born. I am ashamed that I forgot who Barney Rubble is!
