Two year old's have a mind of their own ... And an unnecessary pit stop for sunscreen before play seems absolutely ridiculous and unreasonable!

Last year before our annual spring break beach get-a-way I started showing Ivan Elmo's World, Summer Vacation. After the segment about the beach there is a segment about skin, which mentions sunscreen and having to wear hats to the beach. This year while getting ready to go play in the sun, I was surprised to hear Ivan say, "Elmo sunscreen" as I was applying his sunscreen. It was an OK activity because Elmo said so - Thank you Elmo, XO!

(Knock on wood) Ivan has been a dream about putting sunscreen on his pale little self, face and all, and never complains about wearing a hat!

I've read articles about not showing kids media before the age of 2, but for us, everything in moderation! Elmo has single-handily helped with so much - and now I can credit him for the most important thing for a sweet ginger in the summertime .... SUNSCREEN!
