SpongeBob SquarePants

Posted on October 14, 2008 in Fun-tivities by little mochi

It wasn’t until recently did I discover what a great show SpongeBob SquarePants is! I have heard of other parents talking about it, and how their kids love it. And I never thought I’d be watching it with my kids. Forget Sesame Street. Big Bird, Elmo, the Cookie Monster and the rest of the gang just doesn’t seem to strike Little Mochi’s interest.

Little Mochi’s only 15 months old so obviously, he does not understand the show yet. But he loves the theme music at the beginning. Every time he hears the tune, he drops everything, runs to the TV and bobs his head with the tune. (I know, how cute!)

I have found that, even when Little Mochi’s attention has been diverted by a toy that he caught in the corner of his eye, I am still giggling at the yellow sponge in the tube. Not only is the show good for losing a few calories, but also depicts kid friendly messages in each episode.

Of course, by the time he is old enough to understand the cartoon, there will be a new one that will capture the heart of young children. I do have to admit, however, that SpongeBob is my preferred choice over Power Rangers. No fighting with wands involved.

“Aye aye, captain!”

    Adrian is absolutely crazy about the Wiggles, which is probably why I like them so much too. I admit that I was turned off at first by the sight of a bunch of geeky guys dancing in colorful skivvies, but the songs are so catchy, the dancers have real talent, and they really know how to connect with all the little folks. Our mutual favorite is Anthony — he’s the nutball of the group. Check them out!

    Is it on cable?

    It’s on the Disney Channel — every weekday morning at 7am here in Tucson. However, we’re usually not available at that time. We’ve gotten a lot of our videos from the local library. Here are some of Adrian’s favorites:

    Oh, that’s funny. I think Little Mochi will enjoy it. He watches Chinese concerts and loves it. He loves the singing and dancing aspect of the concert. So I think the wiggles is something that he would enjoy. I just have to find it here. I’ll probably have to tape it since he doesn’t wake up until 8 or 9 am. He’s a late sleeper-doesn’t go to bed until 11pm (although he’s been sleeping quite early the past few weeks).
