Surviving the Domestic Jungle

My day consists of a lot of cartoons. My kids have a few favorites that I want to mention because they are actually really cute. Hailey (18 months) LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba and when I say love I mean is obsessed with! It holds her attention and a bomb could go off next to her and she wouldn’t look away from her beloved characters. At first I thought the show was weird. I mean this guy wearing an orange leotard and a fuzzy hat carries his “friends” in his cassette player briefcase and then takes them out of it and they come to life. Ok, I get that kids won’t think to question that so moving on. Next these characters sing songs about sharing and caring and being polite and how to be a good friend and save the environment. They may be odd but they deliver the best message on TV. Spongebob is not what I would call educational and neither are quite a few other shows that are on Nickelodeon. If your child is watching a show with a weird guy in orange with monster looking animal hybrids singing and dancing about the morals of life, have no fear! It is a good thing!!

My oldest Avery loves her some iCarly. It may be a little advanced for a 5 and 3/4 year old girl but she and I love it. We just crack up every time we watch it! The dynamic of the kids and the older brother is just fantastic. A + on the casting. Again, nothing about the show is normal and these kids basically have no parents and a lot of expensive stuff. No one seems to work and yet one of the kids owed her friends $500.00 in one episode. I never had $500.00 to loan at the age of 12 or 14! I barely had .05 to loan. I guess the web show industry pays well. Either way, it is a really cute show and for all those moms who watch what their kids are watching, check this one out. You might actually become a fan too!!
