But sometimes, he just likes to chill with his friends at the inflatable wading pool in our driveway.

So we put Blues Clues on while I was vacuuming, and I’ve decided I like this show. Two reasons:

1) They periodicly receive “letters” from people, which are really intros to video clips. On this one they received a letter from TMBG and proceded to show a video for “Clap your hands!” Tylor started dancing, and I was rocking the vacuum. Blues Clues++

2) A bit latter they were singing “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” with two cartoon stars, a big one named “Twinkle twinkle” and a smaller one named (betcha can’t guess) “Little star”. After the song, Blue asks…

Yes asks, in english. Sometimes he’s a cartoon that barks, and sometime a puppet that can talk. Don’t ask me what that’s about, I haven’t paid enough attention.

Anyway. Blue asks what a star is, as in “how we wonder what you are”. Twinkle twinlke respondes that a star is a ball of gas, like the sun. They then sing the song again, this time replacing the word “diamond” in “like a diamond in the sky” with “ball of gas”. Oh, and if I have to say why this is cool, you won’t understand.

Ok I can understand the point of these“If Found, Call This Number” Temporary Tattoos. Sick one on your kid and there you go, quick and easy contact info attached to baby that can’t be lost. Still, it’s kinda creepy. I’m not sure I want to be labeling Ty, be it temporary, convient or not. They make one for Alzheimer’s sufferers too, that’s even creepier.
