Videos your toddler likes to watch (or used to watch) over and over again?
Recently, it's the Sesame Street film "Follow That Bird," featuring an all-star cast including Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, Chevy Chase, John Candy and Sandra Bernhard. He's also been into The Wiggles lately (although he freaks out whenever they use puppets, and I can't blame him...one of the segments looks like a really bad acid trip).

1. My nephew went through quite a long period of time where The Wiggles
were THE thing to watch.

My sister started laughing at herself one day while she was driving to work, and she found herself singing on of The Wiggles' songs.

2. my kids watched the Baby Einstein series
up until about a year ago (they are four and five now).

Their favorites now are Sonic Underground and Super Mario Brothers (the old cartoons from the 80's). They also like Fraggle Rock.

4. I can't tell you how many times I had to watch
"Blue's Big Musical"

Oh - and I love the "Silly Hat" song

***************************************
While sadly walking through a field one day
I met a goat who stopped to say
"I'll tell you a secret that will make you smile
I'll sing you a song with a true sense of style"

"Aye aye, aye-aye-aye, just trust me", She said
"You, you, you need something up on your head
A pork pie, pillbox, Panama, tiara, turban, fez, sombrero"

Well, let's see if it fits
Hey, I've got a silly hat
I've got a silly hat

This goofy lid sure filled my heart with glee
I had to share my fun with mon ami
Mr. Salt, Mr. Salt have you seen the new trend?
There's a crazy new style which I must recommend

"Aye aye, aye-aye-aye just trust me", I said
"You, you, you need something up on your head
A pork pie, pillbox, Panama, tiara, turban, fez, sombrero"
"Hey, Mr. Salt, try this one on, oho"

Salt's got a silly hat
Steve's got a silly hat
We've got silly hats

Oh-ho-ho, Steve, that's a great hat
You like it? Ooh, nice choice, Mr. Salt, you look good in a fedora
Huh, thank you, hey, hey look at our friend out there
Hmm, now that's a silly hat!

Oh, I love this new game that Steve had found
I felt like a king who'd just been crowned
Mailbox, oh Mailbox won't you come out and play?
Follow this recipe from your favorite gourmet

"Aye aye, aye-aye-aye just trust me", I said
"You, you, you need something up on your head
A pork pie, pillbox, Panama, tiara, turban, fez, sombrero"
Hey, Mailbox, try this one, a chef's hat? Now you're cooking!

Mailbox has a silly hat
(A chef's hat)
Salt's got a silly hat
(I'm wearing a fedora with )
Steve's got a silly hat
(He's got a sombrero on)
So, we've got silly hats and that's that

Sombrero, beret, beanie, pork pie, Stetson, derby, baseball cap
Cowboy, sailor, stovepipe, bowler, fedora, Panama, helmet, chef's hat Jester hat, coonskin, pillbox, mitre, boater, crown, tiara, deerstalker
Tam o'shanter, kippah, balaclava, fez, turban, dew rag
Bonnet, yarmulke, wool, tricorn, hard hat, bowler's hat, chef's cap

5. Cars
The Disney movie. Thank goodness it's clever and funny; it was bearable. Unlike some of his other choices, like "I Love Big Machines Part 1 and 2." GAAAAAHHH, the crappy narration, bad songs, and amateurish production. :scared:

His other favorite vid was a "Cops" car chase VHS tape he boosted from Mr. MG's collection. It resides at grandma's house, much to her chagrin, because she has a VCR and we don't anymore. Hee.

But MG Jr. has always been more of a TiVo addict. We've shifted from Wiggles, Blues Clues, Bob the Builder, and Caillou, to Fairly Oddparents, Spongebob, Backyardigans, and Drake and Josh.
