Ahem.

Now, if you have never heard of this, it’s called Wonder Pets! and it’s about three baby animals, a guinea pig, a duckling, and a turtle, that go around saving other baby animals that are in trouble. Sounds cute… but… ev.er.y.thing they say is in a sing-song voice and/or part of a song AND in baby-talk. It drives me freaking crazy.

The animation is kinda scary, too, the animals look almost real but the rest of it is more like a drawing. It’s kind of freaky, really.

But Elijah loves it. I told him he could watch it if he sat down on the couch and he’s been there the whole time, the last 15 minutes, with his “BobBob” (Spongebob) blankey, absorbed in the show. Just enamored. Now he’s starting to discuss the show with himself. The Wonder Pets just saved a baby reindeer and he’s probably remembering the Go, Diego, Go episode he just watched where they saved a bunch of reindeer and Santa’s sleigh and Santa, blah, blah, blah. I wasn’t too happy about that – we don’t “do” Santa and flying reindeer in this household – but the kid loves the show so I let it slide this time.

The biggest problem with this show? The stupid songs get stuck in my head!!

Linny… Tuck… and Ming-Ming, too!

Oh, well. He likes it, I guess that’s what is important. Especially since I will only be subjected to it occasionally, when I am too slow to turn off the tv or change the channel before it comes on.

Why do I feel like I’ve written this post before??
