Why thank you! I was not expecting a reply after so many days but what a welcome surprise! :D
I happen to agree with you on all points. One thing I have noticed quite often from our daughter, who is now 16 months old, is that there are times when she just feels like coming over and resting her head on my knee, for whatever reason. The knee is there. If it wasn't she may have to resort to something less meaningful which would/could potentially effect her perspective of us, her main support system. My desire is for her to know that when the knee is present, it should be available to her as needed. I try to focus on the little things like that as often as I can.
Bob Ross time has been recently replaced with a show called 'Spirit' about a girl and her horse, but I have a feeling she'll know that afro when she see's it again ;)
Thanks again @sivatibet
