In the past few weeks I’ve been listening to books in my car ride to & from work (45 minutes each way), so the only music I’ve been hearing has been with Owen in the morning when we watch small bits of Sesame Street, Blues Clues and occasionally a Bear In The Big Blue House DVD. These are the only songs ‘in my head’ all day, and since they are written for very young kids, they are basic, repetitive and frankly… addictive. So in the quiet moments, in the back of my mind I hear snippets of these songs in my head;
‘….The moon, the bear and the big blue house are waiting for you to come and play…’
‘… we put it in our notebook, that’s second clue, Blue’s clues, Blue’s clues…’
‘… it’s Ernie, It’s me, I’d know him anywhere that HHHH HHHH when he laughs that Ernie shirt and hair’
‘…Elmo’s world …’
‘…Welcome to the Blue House… Hello from the small mouse’
‘… here’s the mail it never fails, it makes me want to wag my tail, when it comes I want to wail.. MAIL!’
‘…can you tell me how to get .. how to get to Sesame Street’
I guess I should be happy that Barney & Sponge Bob aren’t part of this.. yet.
What other shows are good for toddlers? Not that we want to prop him in front of the TV. Re-runs of the Muppet Show seem to be a good match, any other suggestions?

hey emily, matt, and owen. Thats a very cute site. I can remember thoughs songs from when i was young. All my friends think Owen is sooooooooo cute. Personal i totally agree, i mean how can u not fall in love with that face, he must have got it from his parents. Have you ever gone into work singing one of thoughs songs, was it very embarresing if so?
