In which Liam is captivated by an orange unitard....

I know the general concensus among the people who know (who are they anyway??) is that 1 yr olds shouldn't watch TV. We have 5 children in our home so the TV is being watched at various intervals throughout the day and at some point Liam is going to be exposed to it. I figure that varying doses of TV in small amounts won't rot his brain, I mean it's not like he is sitting in front of the television for hours at a time, none of my kids are.

In fact, Liam isn't interested in TV at all and that is perfectly fine by me.
In fact, if he never becomes interested in TV that would be wonderful.

With that being said.....on to the whole point of my story....Liam is addicted to Yo Gabba Gabba. Specifically Liam is addicted to the Yo Gabba Gabba episode "New Friends" in which Jack Black sports a orange spandex unitard and teaches the kids to disco. It's True....don't believe me...



Great, huh??

Actually, I'm not sure why this show is so appealing, but for some reason if I turn that specific episode on it has Liam's full attention and I do mean FULL ATTENTION. Interestingly enough ge doesn't do this with ANY other TV show or episode.

In fact, he basically ignores the TV when and if it is on! COMPLETELY IGNORES

But, (can I even start a sentence with But?!) apparently, Jack Black is pretty captivating...or maybe it's the orange unitard?! Whatever it is Liam decided that his story time chair needed to be placed in front of the television for maximum viewing. He pushed it across the living room and plopped right down and only got up when it was time for the disco dancey dance.





I don't mind him watching it, though. (Even if he has seen it 1,245,368 times)

In fact, I think it's kinda cute.

In fact, as long as he doesn't feel the need to wear anything that includes orange spandex I think we're ok. :)

My kids love that show too! Too bad it's been moved to Noggin, which we don't get at all. Did you know it was created by two mormon dads? I thought that was cool.

I HATE THIS SHOW!!!! It's naptime, naptime, go to sleep, go to sleep.....
YIKES!
Tell your friend Rochelle that even though it's moved to Noggin, she can have her kids enjoy full episodes online.
My kids totally loved this show, I am so glad I cancelled our satelite. They hardly watch it anymore on the computer, they get distracted by the games. Yay!!!

My kids have never seen the show but I'm sure they'd be addicted if I let them. I love the little chair Liam sits in! She's super adorable!

He is so freaking cute!!! I just love him to pieces. Cohen is a Curious George ADDICT. As soon as he hears the first beats of the opening song he flips out and goes speed crawling toward the TV. LOL

Can you blame him? Seriously, it's Jack Black in an orange leotard!
