There's an animal in trouble.......

The phone! The phone is ringing!

Some of you with small children will already know what I'm talking about.

The phone! We'll be right there!

Anna's favourite show right now is Wonder Pets! Supplanting even Dora in her devotions. A guinea pig, a duckling and a terrapin who all don capes after preschool hours and save animals from certain doom. Stuck in some tree sap? Paw caught in a brambly bush? They'll be there just as soon as they get that call.

There's an animal in trouble!

She absolutely refuses to watch this show alone, presumably because of the ABSOLUTE! HORROR! of a bee being stuck in some jam and unable to fly, and it MIGHT RAIN! I suppose it's good that she's not watching telly by herself at the tender age of 2 (although when else am I supposed to blog??), but this theme tune, repeated every 4 minutes throughout the show is like a mental chinese burn. I have been singing it all day. My subconscious is ready to grab a cape and go.

Oh yes! My brain is melting!
There's a animal in trouble and it's me.

It's amazing that I know what wonder pets are. You can netflex the movie. I would give you ours if I knew what box it was packed away in. Webikinz is the next craze, it will hit when Anna is about 5. There will be no more blogging then because it requires the little monsters to be on the webkinz website ALL THE TIME. Trust me.

I haven't seen this yet, but I'll keep my eyes out. I like a good toddler show once in a while. Hahahaha. But seriously, it sounds a lot nicer than some of the dumb crapola that goes on on kids television. At least these hampsters are pro-avtice!

I keep forgetting to Tivo this trippy pinata show I keep hearing about.
