I can't even begin to express how much Aerya loves the Backyardigans (or "Pabooooo!" as she calls them). As soon as she wakes up in the morning, without fail, the first word out of her mouth is "Pabooooo!" She'll get you to pick her up and carry her into the hall where she'll point in the direction of the TV until you reach it. She has now learned how to open the DVD cases, open the DVD player, put the disk in right side up (one disk was sacrificed to scratch heaven while learning this), and turn on the TV. She will insatiably watch this show (and the Mission to Mars episode in particular). We have not been able to find a limit to her viewing desires.
Along with 3 DVDs, we have a CD for the car. She'll ask for "Pabo" which means song 5 (from Mission to Mars) and then 3 seconds before the end of the song, it'll be "Pabooooo!" which means "I would like to hear that song again, please." Even sometimes when we think she has fallen asleep she will wake up to mumble "Pabo" in the quietest wisper.
If we want to watch a show ourselves, she'll play by herself for a few minutes, then start demanding Pablo. If this doesn't work, she'll start turning off the TV. If that doesn't work, she'll eject the disk we're watching. And of course, when we say no, we just get the cute/innocent face which makes us smile, which makes her do it again!
Someone told me this phase will end. Right?? (We're going to Mars...)
Paboooo!!!! Almost every morning i wake up with the Backyardigans songs in my head and i end up singing them all day! Hopefully she finds new shows soon!!
ReplyDeleteWell, we have branched into Dora and "dego" or Diego. But that doesn't help much. Simpsons are also a bit hit, but that only helps Derek...
