TV vs Gigi - who will win??? When the boys first came to live with us, I was amazed that they didn't like TV. I mean amazed. I loved TV as a kid and still do and I'm ok with that. I thought a little TV for them would be ok, as long as it wasn't too much and it was educational, and blah, blah, blah.
But, to my amazement they would not, I repeat not, watch TV. And I tried. And, then...... I felt proud! "Oh no they dont' watch TV," I told my friends, they just arent' that into it, feeling very smug and proud that I could entertain them without TV. No TV babysitting for moi.
Then one day, as I was flipping around the TV, 'cause I like TV, we stumbled upon "Bubble Guppies," yes, you read that right, "Bubble Guppies." I'm not sure what a bubble guppy is, but I gotta admit, they're funny. They did a Lady Gaga parody last week that was oh my gosh funny. I'll try and insert the youtube clip in this blog...if I can....hey, that would be kinda un-granny of me, eh?
Anyway, getting back to the TV thing....we stumbled onto the Guppies, and then, wait for it, "Team Umi Zoomi." I'm not really sure what an Umi Zoomi is, or where they live, Umi City?, but I do know C' Boy loves it and he now knows what a trapezoid is, and many of the other shapes, including a few that we had to look up. (Not sure what a shape expert can do career wise, but I believe he's well on his way.)
So, since we have now deemed children's TV not to be the work of the devil, Katy bar the door. We now watch, Princess Sophia, ok, I now watch Princess Sophia, and Paw Patrol, Dino Dan, Lil Bill, and Dora. Oh and Diego. And, maybe an episode of Blues Clues and Cailou. But that's it. Really.
