Whew, THAT was a close one!

Thank goodness we won't have to see this!

What is this "Go Baby" business?

Jake loves the Go Baby clips that air on Playhouse Disney in between episodes.

When Baby appears on the screen Jake acts like he has just seen his long lost best friend. He jumps up and down, laughs, claps his hands and grins from ear to ear while watching Baby at the farm or catching bubbles.

I will have to try to tape it one day and share it with you all. It is precious.

And annoying.

Annoying because I can not figure out Baby. I mean, he looks real, but also animated. So is Baby a real baby? Does he really laugh at everything? If so, he is the happiest baby I have ever seen!

I may never know the truth behind baby, but I love watching Jake enjoy Baby and his friends...thank goodness it's not an entire 30 minute show, I don't know if I could handle it.

Oh I love trash! Everything dirty and dingy and dusty!

What is it about a trash can that is so interesting to a child?

For some reason Little Man has been loving the trash can since we moved. At our last home the trash can was in the laundry room area just off the kitchen and he did not have access to the trash unless we forgot to close the door to the laundry room. Here our laundry room does not have the space needed to put the trash can so it has been sitting in the kitchen with easy access for a curious toddler.

Jake loves the way the lid swings back and forth on the trash can and is very interested in the fact that we put items inside this big contraption.

So much so he likes to find things to put in it himself.

This evening we were preparing to leave and I started looking for my shoes. I found one shoe, but the other was missing. I found it in the trash can. And not only did I find the shoe I knew was missing, but I also found a pair of my flip flops which he had thrown in there.

A few weeks ago when I went to throw something away I found a ball, Tyrone from the Backyardigans, and a book...I guess I am going to have to start surveying my trash before I take it outside to the dumpster.

*Sigh*

I guess I can just add "Dumpster Diving" to my mom resume.

Road Trips sure can be rough sometimes!

WFMW -- Sonic Rodent Away

If you are a regular reader here you know that I have had a small rodent problem in the past week. Saturday, after the official proof of a rodent, we went out and purchased an Ultrasonic Mouse Repeller (I linked to the manufacturer of our brand; however, the website is not working right now, so check back and see if interested and try later!). So far, so good. From what I have read these have mixed reviews; however, my review is that we have had no evidence or sounds of little rodent feet in our home since we put these high pitch sounds boxes! If you have small rodent pets (which if you do, please stay far away from my house with those!) this type of rodent repeller is not for you. Also, I've read that if you have typical indoor house pets (dogs, cat) some may hear this sound as well and if you believe you have sensitive hearing, these may not be good for you. We have not heard any sounds ourselves; however, I have read that some humans have been able to hear the sound the Ultrasonic Mouse Repeller emits.

However, if you are a big chicken when it comes to uninvited rodents (like we are) then this is a great solution. We purchased our's at Wal*Mart for $15.

The Ultrasonic Rodent Repeller works for me! For more Works for Me Wednesday tips visit Rocks in My Dryer.

What is that? The sound of my heart breaking...

Oh Bob, you break my heart. I don't think I could watch again! Oh the humanity!

Funny Song Linkage!

Donnie has made a few cds for Jake which mostly have kid's songs from TV shows. Sometimes he surprises us and puts some funny different song on the cds, usually by comedian Heywood Banks. Here are a couple of these which we have enjoyed!

Be prepared to laugh!

18 Wheels on a Big Rig

Yeah Toast!! Jake especially likes this one as he will sing "YEAH Toast!" at breakfast time.

Interstate 80 Iowa If I have been on Interstate 80 in Iowa I don't remember it and I think it is probably because I slept through it! :)

Big Butter Jesus This song is about this statue in southern Ohio

The Nascar Song (this song is by Tim Wilson)
