snug as a bug

So call me a bad mother, but when there are important things to be done around this house, like laundry and dishes, I need a moment to myself without a whiny baby right on my heels.

Yes, his new thing is 'whining' every second of every day it seems. I'm learning patience and understanding and that the odd drink now and then never hurt anyone.

I kid, I kid. Drinking doesn't help the problem. But the Backyardigans do. It's the only TV program he will watch. And when I say 'watch' I mean, he will sit there from start to finish, without a peep, except maybe to shout some excited baby babble when they start singing.

Bless their beautiful creative cartoon hearts...

I love you Backyardigans. And so does my Son...

Yeah, I know exactly how you feel... and Lena is entranced by baby einstein movies... combine that with a bottle, and she's occupied for at least 20 minutes :D

Jacob LOVES the backyardigans too! It's pretty much the only thing that keeps his attention...and he also watches it from beginning to end!
I too love the backyardigans! I have them recorded on my dvr so whenever I need to vaccuum or do dishes or something I can get it done and he is entertained!
