There are two TV programs the babies are allowed to watch on PBS….Signing Time and It’s a Big Big World. I usually watch the shows with the babies and since we watch the same episodes over and over I know most of the songs. I know all the words and signs to the intro song on Signing Time and I confess, I love to sing and sign along. Another confession. I really like It’s a Big Big World. I love Disney and Pixar movies…my favorites being The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo. I LOVE Crush, the surfer turtle. The voice of Snook reminds me of Crush which is probably why I was drawn to him in the first place(well, that and the fact that he is a total stoner). Jeff says It’s a Big Big World is hippie dippie which is probably why I like it so much. They sing about being kind to Mother Earth and only use what you need. They sing about how we have to share the Earth so don’t abuse it. Great stuff! The babies LOVE LOVE LOVE Big World. They ask to watch it and when it is on they watch it in a trance. They especially love the songs. The songs are the best!!! If they sell a cd I am so buying it.

Sweet as sugar (when she wants to be!)

I’m off to San Diego tomorrow. Wish Jeff luck with the babies. He’s on his own with them for 4 days. Dun Dun DUN!! Hopefully when I come back he won’t be stark raving mad, because as we all know…kids can do that to you!

Sometimes it’s hard to not feel the “Mother’s Guilt” when the kids watch TV, so all these educational shows are great because at least I can feel good that most of the time they are learning, like Heaten & his GENTLE & all the signs Shenzie has learned. Dora has taught Alexee a ton of Spanish, she knows all her colors & can count to 10! I was wondering who likes Signing Time more though, you get into it as much as the babies?:) Steve Irwin’s daughter has a cute show on Discovery Kids that the kids love, it’s Bindi The Jungle Girl, Braiden loves to watch shows about animals!! The silly boy loves the animal planet channel:) Have a GREAT vacation!! I am jealous, have some extra fun for me!!!

I hope you have fun sissy!! Relax and enjoy your “free” time! I would say to have Jeff call if he gets overwhelmed but (a) I will be out of town too, and (b) he would never call anyway… ha ha ha!! I will call you this weekend but I don’t think we are leaving Carslad so we probably won’t see each other… Be safe sissy.
BTW, I know what you mean about them getting “zoned” into their show. The only show Haylee will watch is Yo Gabba Gabba, and if I put it on she won’t even pay attention to me. It’s crazy!!
