Discovering Boohbah February 28, 2008

Posted by Emily in : Princess Hannah , trackback

Hannah is a typical 19 month old. Translation: she can turn the TV on and off and she knows how to use the remote control. Well, at least she thinks she does. She usually presses too many buttons, or all the wrong buttons, or the ONE button that will make your remote and TV self destruct. I’m not a big TV fan. Mostly, I’m not a fan of background noise, which is what the TV provides.

Hannah really doesn’t care about the TV that much. It’s only when her bossy little index finger takes over and decides it would be GREAT FUN to IRRITATE the HECK out of her mom by pressing the ON and OFF button, 1000 times. A few Sunday’s ago, (as her finger took over and she lost all ability to hear, think or obey her mom) she discovered a crazy (more like irritate the heck out of you) show called Boohbah. I honestly couldn’t believe that a show like this could actually generate enough ratings to run on TV. Truthfully, I thought aliens were invading our TV.

Here’s the thing, she LOVES Boohbah with all her little heart. She talks about it daily although the show only airs on Sunday at 4:30pm. She has only seen the show twice, but with all the enthusiasm she has for this show, you would think she was the president of the Boohbah fan club. Apparently, David and I enjoy “child TV show torture” because we PLAN to have her watch this show on Sunday. AND, AND, AND, we go to the website almost daily (at her request) and watch as her face lights up and we relive our own carefree childhood moments through her eyes.

This is what Hannah looks like for 30 minutes in front of the TV when watching this show. And now know you know why we have no choice but to allow this indulgence every Sunday.
