Wonder Toddler Thursday -- Jem-elie

Yes, I've introduced my daughter to the Jem cartoons. Yes, they're as bad as I thought they might be, even though I do remember them fondly. (And I just found out today that the entire series is being re-released on DVD in October!)

Eme loves them. She parades around the house pretending to get into peril and singing her way back out of it. She's truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Oskar:
