2 thumbs & a dummy

Actually, it’s more like she watches what I watch. We’ve pretty much got a daily routine going these days. Arianna wakes up between 6.30am – 7am and then it’s straight to her first dose of booby juice in bed with Mummy. Then Mum wakes up and gets dressed and off we get out of bed [and me very reluctantly]. I put her in the playpen and switch on the telly while I get her breakfast, usually her cereal, my breakfast and put her porridge on to cook.

Then we have brekkie together and then back into the playpen and she watches telly while I play on the pc. I noticed that she only fancies 3 kiddy shows for now despite her young age – I know I shouldn’t be encouraging her to watch telly but I seriously dunno what to do with her la! Anyway, in this same order as on telly, it’s The Wiggles, Sesame Street and her favourite, In The Night Garden.

The Wiggles

This is an Australian based team and is a major hit wherever they go. I have to admit that 5 grown [old] men prancing around singing kiddy songs is a little creepy to me but hey, they are making big bucks and the kids here love them!! We saw a show feafuring Dorothy the Dinosaur at the Pregnancy, Babies and Childrens expo recently and Arianna really took to her!! I’m sure it was the noise and action that was happening. But surprisingly, I’m slowly beginning to like it a wee bit…ok, maybe not.

Sesame Street

This is and will be my all time favourite! I’ve been watching this for as long as I can remember and I still watch it. I prefer how it was back in the day where Barkley made frequent appearances. I actually intend to get the DVDs from their website soon [when my paid posts makes me some moolah!] and I’m glad that the boxed sets are from the beginnings.

In The Night Garden

This is a pretty new program in my opinion and it comes from the same producers as the Teletubbies and lemme tell you that I totally abhor the Teletubbies! I don’t know why…maybe it’s because of how they look. They are ugly. But surprisingly, I actually enjoy watching this instead. I’m not sure what the appeal is but Arianna stops whatever she’s doing the minute the theme song comes on and is totally transfix on the telly. The theme song is outrageously addictive although you might not think so the first few times you listen to it. But give it a listen and I guarantee you that you’ll be humming to this tune in a couple of days without even realising it! *lol* I know coz I absolutely love it and I sing it to Arianna at least 3 times a day and it never fails to bring a smile to her face. These creatures talk gibberish and I think they depend on their actions to get the message across. By the way, I think Iggle Piggle and Upsy-Daisy are a little too affectionate that I find it rather disturbing, then again, I might be taking it too seriously….who knows? But I can vouch that I ain’t the only one who thinks that these 2 are an item!! *lol*

And after this progrom is over then its morning nap time for Arianna and more pc time for me although sometimes I have to tear myself away and remind myself that I have to cook and clean as well. See what I mean when I say that I was kind of happy when the net wasn’t fix coz it gave me a lot of additional time to do things. *sigh* I’m utterly hopeless when it comes to time management!!!
