There's A Party In My Tummy

I know when reading that title, some strange thoughts come to your mind. No, I didn't have bad sushi. No strong drink either. This post would happen to be about a children's television show. It's annoying, wonderful, and scary all in one package deal. The show's title? Yo Gabba Gabba. Yup, very interesting huh. I saw this show for the first time a few weeks ago when pigs flew and we got extended cable channels. Christian now watches it faithfully everyday at 12pm, just before going down for his nap. The routine is as follows:
Christian: at 11:45am, dig whole wheat tortillas and cheese package out of fridge and throw them in Mom's lap
Momma: put cheese slices inside tortillas and nuke until melted--cut into little triangles and put on plate--pour "juicy" into sippy and hand it all to small child waiting anxiously across the bar on a stool
Christian: hop down from stool with plate and sippy in hand--plop skinny self down in front of large television (stomach on floor, chin on hands) with plate and sippy next to him
Momma: turn on to Nick Jr., sit in recliner, brace self for 30 minutes of complete goofiness
Christian: stare wide-eyed at the boob tube and watch the very creative characters of Yo Gabba Gabba "do their thing"
And there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Yo Gabba Gabba has become as big as the Doodlebops around here. Note: if you don't know about the Doodlebops, too bad. I have no time to explain their antics. Tune into Nick Jr. (channel 34) at 9am for further details.
I am telling you all about Yo Gabba Gabba because I want to share yet another youtube.com video with you. I know, you are rolling your eyes as you read this---do we SERIOUSLY have to see another video? The answer is YES!!
I want you to see what I go through on a daily basis with this television show. As you watch, keep in mind that it has revolutionized the Haskell household. Yo Gabba Gabba has taught Christian to try new food and LIKE it, share toys with both sisters as well as friends, take turns, say he's sorry for things---all the little "hidden" messages that this show has. :)
