He has learned TONS of phrases from it. I will sometimes hear him having a conversation, in French, with his toys and it's like the Trotro monologues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv/page/2#post-1111768 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:11:47 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1111768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also are learning about the remote :) And I secretly love the adult humor in sesame street.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv/page/2#post-1111760 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:03:35 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1111760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has learned that the remote someone makes the TV flash with pictures and sounds :) He's a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv/page/2#post-1111433 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:04:03 +0000 yin 1111433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: They just came out earlier this month and only available at TRU. It's a pretty hot item. It took me two weeks to find the trolley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv/page/2#post-1111426 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:59:28 +0000 banana 1111426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: GET OUT!

It's my LO's favorite theme song. On our PBS station it comes on after Dinosaur Train but it's also on Netflix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv/page/2#post-1111349 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:18:02 +0000 yin 1111349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a few lessons we have learned from Daniel Tiger -- potty, anger management, sharing, keep trying, try new foods, grown ups come back, cleaning up, and so much more. </p> <p>I may have made several trips to Toys R Us to score the following toys...</p> <p>[attach=138/13/mtpfe3.600x600.IMG_5021.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111337 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:14:36 +0000 banana 1111337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Angelina Ballerina? Sounds fun! What network is that on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111332 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:13:05 +0000 mrsjazz 1111332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She learned how to raise the roof from a hip hop dance segment on Angelina Ballerina. Very useful stuff! </p> <p>But she has gotten much better at her ABCs through the Sesame Street segment with Elmo and India Arie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111243 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:36:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1111243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Yup, that's the costume! I was going to buy it off Etsy. I wish I could do both, but can't... and wouldn't have a reason to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111236 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:34:16 +0000 banana 1111236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I've only seen a few of the Doc McStuffin episodes so I'm not tired of them *yet*. My son calls her Doctor McMuffin so he obviously doesn't watch it very often. And how cute about Tinkerbell! I think the Disney Fairies are way cuter than the Princesses! Although your Audrey Hepburn costume would have been FAB! Were you thinking of doing the Breakfast at Tiffany's one with the black dress, gloves, sunglasses and crown? Maybe you can do both!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111222 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:29:20 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1111222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: There haven't been a lot of new Doc McStuffins episodes on lately (I hate that I know this!) and we mostly watch them ondemand. It's the *same handful of episodes* all the time. I seriously got excited when they put out two new ones because at least it was something different.</p> <p>She's also REALLY into Disney Fairies. We watch Tinkerbell on Netflix, too. She also foiled my awesome Halloween plans of making her Audrey Hepburn for Halloween -- she saw a Tinkerbell costume at TRU and I melted and bought it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111216 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:27:21 +0000 banana 1111216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Ugga mugga! :heart: </p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: The other one he likes is Doc McStuffins but he's not as into that one. I think he gets freaked out when some of the toys get seriously injured, like stuffing pouring out of their bellies or a button eye popping off. He covers his eyes and peeks through his fingers.</p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Yeah, get on the Tiger bandwagon! I think N will love it! She's at a perfect age for it. You can do a blog post on it. hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111161 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:08:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1111161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: @Mrs. Jump Rope: GUYS.. this thread is toooo funny!!! You guys are cray cray! I am totally jumping on this bandwagon - will have to look it up on Netflix tonight!! Now I want to go youtube some good ol' Mr. Rogers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111074 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:35:35 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1111074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: She's so whiney and I want to SLAP HER.</p> <p>Chloe LOVED the new foods episode. We're making a pizza for dinner tonight and she's off to the store with her papa to pick out some green peppers for a topping!</p> <p>ETA: I don't consider myself a loser for letting her watch Daniel Tiger! It's one of the only kids programs I can stomach. I'm getting SO SICK of Sophia the First and Doc McStuffins. Chloe refused a nap today &amp; I had to work, so I let her go to town on the iPad for an hour. Win-win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111071 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:34:14 +0000 banana 1111071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: OMG you're seriously cracking me up. "meowmeow" hahaha! I don't understand why she has to add that at the end. I'm going to let him watch the "Daniel tries a new food" episode today. Crossing my finger it works!!</p> <p>Btw, I feel like a loser parent teaching my son life lessons by making him watch a 3 year old cartoon Tiger. Whatever it takes? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111058 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:30:24 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1111058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: K/Catarina seriously annoys the hell out of me, meowmeow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111054 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:29:58 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1111054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: girl, it's wash and flush and be on your way.</p> <p>#watchedthatthreetimestoday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1111006 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:13:28 +0000 banana 1111006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: LOL! That's hilarious. Or kinda creepy I don't know. </p> <p>@Raindrop: I'd consider that modern dance. :) My DD loves the Hot Dog dance too.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I know! Now that you told me about Prince Wednesday I realized that his dad is King Friday! I don't always watch the shows with him so I wasn't paying attention. I remember Henrieta!! The daughter's name is Katerina (I think that's how it's spelled). Prince Tuesday always existed? I thought he was new! And THAT'S why he wears a wristwatch?? I always wondered why a toddler tiger (in my head Daniel's like 3 or 3 1/2) wore a wristwatch!</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: We saw that one last night!! Seriously that's how I got him to wash his hands this morning. </p> <p>@MamaBehr: Seriously those songs are super catchy! "Take a deep breath and count to four"... My son does the hand movements, too. Except he keeps counting to 10. We watched that one a few nights ago and he purposely stacked his blocks and knocked them down so that he can sing that song! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1110678 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:06:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1110678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: HAHAHA keep trying, you'll get beeetterrrrr!</p> <p>I love that she sings the mad song to you. I had that stuck in my head for DAYS. I hope Chloe doesn't pull the same trick on me some day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1110673 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:04:47 +0000 MamaBehr 1110673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana @Mrs.JumpRope DANIEL TIGER POTTY TRAINED MY DAUGHTER!!! I love love love love that show. She has learned so much from that show, it is crazy. Last night she wanted to do some painting, but I was too exhausted to do it (we had just come home from a 2 week vacation where I flew with both of my LOs by myself) and she tried to get DH to do it. He said "I don't like arts and crafts, I'm not good at them." And she sang "keep trying, you'll get better" to him. So freakin' cute. And, if someone is angry she sings the "When you feel so mad, that you want to roar, take a deep breath ::takes deep breath:: and count to four." She has done this to me when I'm trying to put her in time out.... hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1110672 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:04:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1110672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! He watches the Baby Signing Time videos and knows almost all the signs on it! It's amazing. I really want all of us to learn ASL because DH is HOH. Even he has a learned a lot from the videos and J LOVES using his signs to communicate. </p> <p>I turned on Daniel the Tiger the other day but he's not interested yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1110638 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:54:34 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1110638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lala learned the sounds of all the letters from a short phonics video. So much easier to learn them in song format. She also picks up "The word of the day" from Sesame Street. Other than that, she doesn't get too much exposure.</p> <p>Oh, but one viewing of "What does the fox say?" and she can sing the whole damn song! No wonder it's so viral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1110628 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:51:23 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1110628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: OMG this kills me.</p> <p>"The Daniel puppet seems to have a great fan following among the children who watch the program. When Daniel offered membership in his Tame Tiger Torganization (T.T.T.) on The Children's Corner, he was soon receiving 750 letters a day. Not long ago a very thoughtful present came for Daniel from a child who watched him often. The child explained in a letter that he had noticed Daniel's clock had no hands, so he was sending Daniel the most useful present he could think of -- a wristwatch." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1110623 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:50:13 +0000 mrs. wagon 1110623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: girlfriend!!! Daniel Tiger was the main puppet!!!!!</p> <p>We love Daniel Tiger too and we sing the songs all the time to reinforce things... when you need to go potty, STOP! and go right away! wash and scrub and be on your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-learned-anything-from-watching-tv#post-1110622 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:50:07 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1110622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Dude King Friday is in Daniel Tiger, too! Duh, its Prince Wednesday's DAD.</p> <p>I did a few searches on Mr. Rogers last night. Queen Sara Saturday (named after his wife) is King Friday's wife!</p> <p>I'm pretty sure all that characters on the show are the "kids" of the original characters. I hope I'm not wrong... I love pretending that they are! </p> <p>O the Owl is X the Owls kid, the cat (drawing a blank on her name!!!! meow meow....) is Henrieta's daughter. I thought Prince Tuesday was King Friday's son.</p> <p>I just did a quick google search -- looks my theory is wrong?!<br /> According to this site, Prince Tuesday always existed.
