Thank you Bubble Guppies

I'm not really sure just how much Bubble Guppies has to do with it, but honestly if you lived in my neighborhood earlier you would have seen a 2 year old running in circles in the driveway wearing nothing but a t-shirt, pull-up, and carrying a shoe while chanting "circles, circles, circles." Throw in a few "circles with my shoes" in this chant and we are all out party.

It all started with a Bubble Guppies (or Buh Puppies, if you prefer the way it is referred to around here) song about lining up to go outside. It's kinda catchy and hip hop and when a two year old sings it is summed up as "line up, line up, outside." That is how we got outside. (Aren't the little Bubble Guppies cute?)

Running in circles ensued, with both the garage door and myself getting lots of waves and "hi's"All of a sudden he stopped....a bird, a swallow to be precise, was flying over. "Oh, look mama, bird go in circles like P does." I just nod and smile my agreement. "Watch at bird mama, watch fly in circles."

"I'm watching P," I tell him. He looks at me seriously, "bird has wings to fly fly fly really high," as he's flapping his arms like wings. Then the bird does it, the bird flies over the house on one of the loops. You would think we were at an acrobatic air show. "Wow, mama, mama, the bird flew over my new house," and he starts giggling uncontrollably. The giggling turns into sprinting in circles again.

All in all at least I can proudly say that my son knows what a circle is, recognizes birds and that they have wings, and can associate that someone/thing is doing something like he is. I'm so proud, even if all of this was done in his underwear out for everyone to see.

He finished his night with playful roughhousing, collapsed between us and said "I love you guys."

He just told me he wants to go to the Yo Gabba Gabba place. I think it is time for bed.
