Growing Up Too Early

When my son was 2 his girlfriend was Kim Possible and Bubbles (of the Powerpuff Girls). He loved cartoons and watched Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story for years and years. He liked Scooby Doo, even through kindergarten and first grade, to the point that he wrote them letters. He wrote letters to a lot of cartoon characters, to the point that he really thought they were real. He wrote Kim Possible and asked her to go out with them. And I hated to disillusion him so I answered back. He had some major reality issues, but it was a young and innocent time. We always had cartoons on. It wasn't until he was older that he started moving on to Nickelodeon. He moved to Zach and Cody, Phil of the Future, and other Disney channel shows and from there it is now Drake and Josh, iCarly, and of curse the new Zach and Cody show that will start Friday. Unfortunately, my daughter is skipping all the cutesy cartoons. Now she watches PBS kids and likes DragonTales, Clifford and Curious George, but her first requests are for "Josh" and "Carly". She is into the teen shows already. I saw Brooke Shields on Jay Leno (yes, Jay) and she was saying how her 5 year old daughter loves the Jonas Brothers. My toddler is going to be old beyond her years. I have a feeling we're going to have issues in the future.
