It's finally happened.

I am sitting by the t.v., Hunter bouncing along in his Exersaucer, watching... THE WIGGLES. The horror! The agony! It's almost as mind-numbing as Baby Einstein. My beloved nephew Austin used to watch a Wiggles video to go to sleep. Can you believe his parents never made the connection between the Wiggles video and Austin waking up screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night for weeks on end?!

Hunter doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the t.v., but he is jumping ("baby dancing") when I clap to the music. It's kind of funny. He likes the little blob of yellow clay that introduces the show (appropriately named "Clay"). Clay also makes him baby dance. What a big bodderbooey. I usually just watch my shows, which he pretty much ignores. He does seem to like "Jerry Springer," though. All the shouting from the audience is pretty stimulating, I suppose. Heh. Yes, I am a horrible mother. I think the show is so over the top, it's pretty funny. Another subject, before half my family chews me out.

Watching The Wiggles with Hunter ALMOST surpasses watching Barney with Logan. I swore off Barney when I was forced to watch it during Jon-Jon's babyhood.... That was mind-numbing, and also made me drool. Then Logan decided it was a fun thing to watch. He was quiet (a first!), so Barney was no longer out of the question. I'm such a pushover. What next?

I won't get on you about watching Jerry Springer because we all have our shows that we are embarrassed about. Sometimes we just like to dumb it down a little.

By the way, that wasn't me playing my surround sound really loud on Saturday. You may have heard me yelling at the TV though.

Emma likes the Baby Einstein. She also likes football. Come to think of it, she likes anything on TV. She was turning her head to see the TV at Outback the other night.
