We just watch them on youtube.

Believe me, it is immediately obvious that there is nothing especially educational/developmentally benefical about them, although I think they're mostly harmless in small doses.

We let August watch this cartoon called Baby Abuelita, bilingual show. It is only 18 minutes long and I use them sparingly now. There are only six episodes and I know them all by heart so....sparingly. It makes her so happy.

sylvie's pretty into angelina ballerina, which features the voice talents of dame judi dench. we use it pretty sparingly too, once or twice a week, but man, it is tempting to do it more. peace and quiet!

Aaaa-aaangelina ballerina!
A little star with big dreams!
Aaaaaaa-aaangelina baller-eeeeee-eee-na!
La la la la
la la la la

I can't get enough of that modulation on the la la la's.

I tried an ep of eebies on netflix. It was ok -- slow-paced and gave ideas for things you can do with your baby (water play activities e.g.), but K seemed to find it boring after 5 minutes.

evie's pretty obsessed with dora, which is very painful to watch as an adult (very very repetitive). she also likes yo gabba gabba and curious george, which are slightly more tolerable. i don't stress out too much about her watching tv but yeah we mainly use it when we really need a break (most often when she wakes up at 5:30 a.m. on a saturday).

― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 13 December 2012 16:42 (thirteen years ago)

yo gabba's awesome! abby likes Go, Diego Go. We've been through a lot of the kids shows on netflix. Her first crush was Steve from Blue's Clues.

― how's life, Thursday, 13 December 2012 16:55 (thirteen years ago)

(we spend a lot of time outside with the kids, but when we're home, the TV's probably on 75% of the time)

― how's life, Thursday, 13 December 2012 16:59 (thirteen years ago)

I have fretted and fretted about the kids watching too much TV, but watching Beeps draw pictures from the shows she watches and seeing her imagination take off, and Hankfoot walking around the house "looking for clues" does settle me down a bit.

― pplains, Thursday, 13 December 2012 17:41 (thirteen years ago)

my daughter (she's 5) gets to watch about an hour a day in the mornings on Saturday and Sunday - these days it's usually Angelina or Sesame Street or Super Why (she's outgrown Yo Gabba Gabba). and we let her watch movies sometimes if its a rainy day or something like that. I sort of hate Angelina and her posh accent

― Welcome to my world of proses (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 8 January 2013 00:29 (thirteen years ago)

i just got over being sick for like two months in a row. apparently they pick up all kinds of sickness at school and it's like super toddler diseases that adults are not resistant to. today i felt better than i have in weeks.

things to look forward to!

yeah I remember that. dunno if it'll be different second time around (will babby get immunity from being exposed to all of big sister's germs? or will we all just get sick from babby? who knows)

― Welcome to my world of proses (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 8 January 2013 00:32 (thirteen years ago)
