It's Timmy Time!

So it's official, Amelia has a favorite TV show. She doesn't watch too much telly, but lately she's been waking up at 6:30am and well, I'm just too tired to do much with her after feeding her breakfast. So the last week or so I've been turning on Cbeebies (which is the children's channel for the BBC) and so we've discovered Timmy Time. And actually, it's pretty cute. There are some really crazy shows for kids on this channel, but a few good ones.

But the Ngai Family favorite is now Timmy Time. TT only lasts about 10 minutes, and the animals don't actually talk in English. Timmy is a lamb and he talks by saying 'baa baa' his friend the duck will reply by saying 'quack quack' and the teacher tells them to get ready for lunch by saying 'hoot hoot'. Pretty simple.

However TT does have about the catchiest theme song I've ever heard. Amelia breaks out in a huge grin and starts shaking her booty when she hears the Timmy Time song.

See for yourself:



Now I'll bet money that sometime after hearing this you'll catch yourself humming it.

So yeah, Amelia loves Timmy Time, it's 10 minutes of telly, so I think she'll survive. Of course, when Matt gets up with her, they watch Chuggington which comes on right after. It's about trains and Matt likes the lessons you learn. Like today Matt learned that if you stay up too late the night before, you might be too tired to do a good job at work the next day. Apparently he'd never figured that out before.

So here we go, another new chapter in our life as we enter into the strange new world of children's television.

I think I like Timmy. I like it better than Teletubbies from UK. Becca's kids were crazy about Teletubbies...except the vacuum.
