My daughter has this thing, where if she gets into a show or movie, she will want to watch it ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Like, one of her first obsessions was the (quite awesome) stop motion kids show
Timmy Time. If you've ever watched
Shaun the Sheep, Timmy is the baby lamb in that show. Timmy Time is the spin off, where he goes to school. My husband and I actually really like the show too, and we usually enjoy watching it with Fiya.
Then after that, she decided to 'grow up' and became OBSESSED with
The Little Mermaid. She adored Ariel, and she could sing (albeit in gibberish) most of the songs. Her favourite song was Part of Your World, and she'd sing it, complete with hand gestures and rolling around on the floor.
The Little Mermaid is actually one of my all time favourite Disney movies (tied with Aladdin). But watching it every day, sometimes 3-4 times straight, it made me think a little too much about it. Like, how exactly do mermaids breathe? What exactly are their respiratory systems like? Do they use lungs? Gills? And how is it possible for them to talk and sing (and play instruments!!) underwater? Shouldn't everything sound like muffled goop? This is only the tip of the iceberg of stupid questions I have asked my husband during the course of my daughter's obsession.
Then, we introduced her to
Rapunzel, and THAT consumed her life for quite a bit. The husband made a mistake of downloading the soundtrack and playing it in the car. So now everytime we're in his car, she would be demanding to listen to Rapunzel. And she'd be singing along to every song (again, in gibberish). But when she sang along to I See The Light, she'd insist I sing along with her, and hold her hands and brush her hair, just the way Flynn Rider did to Rapunzel in the movie. And I KNOW that years from now, when Fiya is all grown up and not want to hang out with her mom all the time, I'll listen to that song and weep.
Anyways, after her Rapunzel phase, she caught the
Rio bug. She learned how to samba from that movie, LOL.
After Rio, it was
Lion King. This led her to roar at everyone and everything.
And now, her most recent obsession, is
Happy Feet 2. I'll be honest, I don't even really like this movie. But one night, I was so tired, that I zonked out on the living room couch. My husband decided to play that movie for Fiya, and the few times that I woke up, I'd see her dancing along to the penguins. And now she demands to watch penguins every night. By the time the movie is over, it'll be at least 12.30 am. And I'll be too sleepy for anything else.
Basically all I'm saying is, I have a huge backlog of TV shows to catch up on! *sobs*
That is all.
