BUT things have been soooooo busy lately with work, home, church, the Holidays, etc. AND the kids are sick with double ear infections and pink eye, soooooooo I have not had time to post my hilarious opinions about Nick Jr.
First of all, let's just say I came to appreciate Nick Jr. this summer. When we moved and lived with my parents for a month (or was it two), my children did not adjust well. They both woke up every morning around 5:00 a.m. Mama does NOT parent well at 5:00 a.m. SOOOOO Nick Jr. to the rescue!!!!!!
If you want to know what is on at 5:00 a.m., it is our good friends, Max and Ruby!! I love Max and Ruby because it reminds me of Jillian and Rocco. Jillian is the bossy big sis just like Ruby and Roc is the silent, obediant little brother!! Ha ha!!
Jillian's and Rocco's favorite show is Olivia. BUT the prob is - it comes on super late so of course, I do not let them watch it. But there has been times on the weekend that Olivia comes on and both of them are spellbound. They think Olivia and her brothers are so funny!! The episode of Olivia wearing a tutu makes Jillian very, very happy!
Jillian's "other" favorite show is the Wonder Pets!! It is a totally mindless show about animal rescue but slightly addicting. My favorite character is Ming-Ming the duck! In his wittle-bitty baby voice, when he says "This is serious," Jillian and I just crack up.
My favorite show is the Fresh Beat Band. What other show on TV is teaching kids how to do the "Freeze Dance??" Jillian and I will dance around for the entire 30 minutes it is on and we have even gotten Rocco to put his hands on his hips and shake 'em.
Oddly, Rocco's fav show is Dora. I didn't like Dora in the beginning but she has grown on me. It totally amazes me that Jillian can count to ten in Spanish and say small words like hola, gracias, abre (open). Trust me, she is not learning it from me!! (Remember my ridiculous years of taking French in school???)
Finally let's get to the bad!!!! I do NOT like Go Diego Go. Not much reason other than it is EXACTLY like Dora except boy-style and it is just annoying.
I HATE, CANNOT STAND, DESPISE THIS SHOW!!!!!
IT IS WEIRD, BIZARRE. THE SONGS ARE BIZARRE AND HAVE WEIRD RHYTHMS, ETC. I HAVE NO LOVE FOR STRANGE CREATURES. I have taught Jillian that this show is inappropriate and "bad" and little kids are not allowed to watch. (Pretty smart, huh??)

Lol! I do to Wonder Pets what you do to Yo Gabba Gabba. That show drives me bonkers. Diego actually teaches about different animals, so Allison has always loved it. She actually preferred Diego to Dora for a while. Olivia is the fav around here too! It is so cute.
I cannot believe you like wonder pets!!! It is funny how everyone has different taste. I am with you to a degree on Yo Gabba Gabba. I don't really care for it, but not so much that I won't let Payton watch it. I am also with you on Diego. I do like Fresh Beat Band; however, for some reason they do not hold her attention.
