I think we have created a monster.
Right now, Caity is standing on the stairs screaming ‘I WANT MY WIGGLES!’
We have been watching wiggles videos ALL MORNING….almost EVERY MORNING.
In the car we are forced to listen to the Wiggles CD over and over again.
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
And sure it is great…she sings, she dances, she spells out D O R O T H Y with great enthusiasm….so she gets a lot of out it. And so do we. We get a moment where she isn’t demanding OUR total attention. The Wiggles are our babysitters.
Gasp!
But we need to find another addiction to replace this one.
I am now getting Wiggles Headaches.
I flee outside with them, rain or shine, to escape the Fruit Salad.
We beg her in the car. We try to convince her that Underworld is just as good as Wiggles.
All to no avail.
She is now eating her lunch and quietly listing off their names.
Is there an intervention program for Wiggles addictions?
lol… and this is why we don’t go to see any “live” kid shows! and also why we don’t play kiddy songs in the car… they have no idea that those things can exist outside of their scheduled time on tv! 😉
Fruit salad- yummy yummy- Sorry- I’ve been through this AWFUL phase!
‘Is there an intervention program for Wiggles addictions?’- not that I know of, but I do have an extremely sharp pencil- you could poke yourself in the eye. At least it would be a distraction!
Sounds like my house except replace The Wiggles with Blues Clues.
Luckily, I secretly love Steve, so it’s not so bad. I just wish I didn’t have to listen to the CD over and over and over again.
HAHAHA!
Oh I live through this too. How old is Caity? She sounds like a match made in Heaven for my Leo (2 1/2). He has Wiggles slippers and dolls and the car and every video I think. He just now started to say “Wiggles”. He used to call them “Ya-Ya”. 🙂
Speaking of obsessions … I tagged you for this meme.
Obsessions Meme
same here but our addiction is Veggie Tales. if i have to listen to the Veggies Sing the 70s one more time, its flying out the window lol!
WIGGLES INTERVENTION PROGRAM:
1. Accept that you are powerless over the Wiggles
2. Accept that there is a higher power than the Wiggles (Hannah Montana)
3. Decide to turn your life over to Hannah Montana
4. Humbly ask Hannah Montana for forgiveness.
5. Take up heavy drinking.
Thankfully my son hasn’t become obsessed with one particular kids show yet. He’s happy watching any of them, though there are some he likes better than others. I tell you what though, one of the cutest things is watching him sing hot potato along with the Wiggles, and trying to do the hand motions.. Love it!!!
The only words of wisdom I have to pass on are: “This too, shall pass.” Good luck until then! 🙂
Oh how I miss this phase. We once took an 11 hr trip to Atlanta almost completely to the soundtrack of the wiggles. We were measuring how far we had to go by the # of CDs it would take. Unfortunately it has morphed into the Cheetah Girls and Hannah Montana now. I’m not sure which is worse. Plus younger son has now discovered the Wiggles too. So I’ve got both. Yippee!
Mine is just obsessed with the Disney channel in general. She loves all shows. She also loves DORA!
OH GOD I am so glad we are out of that phase! Yech. I feel for you. I really, really do. :)If it’s any consolation, my daughter no longer even remembers those freaks. (Although, I am not sure how that’s a consolation since the memory is burned in my brain… hmmm… sorry! I tried. )
