Ooo-Tube gets four thumbs up in this house
The girls turn up their noses at tv, but would watch "Ooo-Tube" (YouTube) videos for hours if I let them. (I don't. Mostly because they can't work a mouse yet and I don't have the patience to sit at the computer and listen to "zany" kid videos over and over and over). Anyhow, R&M have their own page of favorite videos. They've all been pre-approved for toddler viewing by me, and, most importantly, by Ro and Ree. Here's the list, in case you need some kid-friendly bookmarks. If you have any favorites that I could add to the list, please PLEASE share the urls. Think of it as a public service -- you're saving me from gauging my eyes out if I have to watch the Wiggles singing "Blow up Your Balloon" one more time.
Sesame Street - Orange Sings Carmen (Ree's favorite video of all time)
The Rhino Song
Swiss National Day Fireworks Display in Biel (2006)
The Dinosaurs Song
My Cat Tiggy Talking/Speaking Hello
The Two Talking Cats
Mocka the Miracle Diving Dog
Wheels on the Bus
Sesame Street Ladybugs' Picnic

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Hot Dog Song
Five Little Monkeys
The Wiggles, Blow Up Your Balloon
ABC Song by Tiptaptop.com
Cooking with Sophie Lu
If You Are Happy
Five Little Ducks (Ro's fave)
Oh, and one quick question: has anyone heard of that song "Little Bunny Foo Foo"? Ro and Ree have been singing it lately (they say the preschool teachers taught it to them) and the lyrics are just plain creepy if you ask me. What's up with the rabbit jumping through the forest, scooping up mice, and bopping them on the head? At first we thought something had been lost in translation, but the words they're singing really are the right ones. What the heck?
