Pocoyo - Newest show on our DVR list
We’ve found this great new show called Pocoyo.
It’s really cute and my daughter absolutely loves it!
Pocoyo is this little boy (about 3 or 4) who has some animal friends he plays with.
The animation of the show is very simple with just a white background and the objects/characters being animated. The simplicity adds to the greatness of the show.
Not only does my daughter love it, but my husband and I have gotten really into it - I mean it’s a preschool show, but I’m pretty sure we’d watch it even if my daughter wasn’t around.
It’s that good! And funny!
Oh and the name? Well it roughly means “little me” in Spanish. The story of how he was named is…also cute!
From the Pocoyo site:
…came from the two year old daughter of…the creator of Pocoyo. She used to say a prayer every night…[while] still learning to talk. One night instead of saying “como yo” (meaning “like me”) the words came out “poco yo”…So, Pocoyo was born, thanks to the funny way in which all children often mix up their words when first learning to talk!
Pocoyo can be found:
- on his blog (though it doesn’t seem like it was recently updated)
- official site
- and on YouTube
Let me know if you check it out and what you think. But, I think you’ll love it!

What is up with Lost?
Is it just me or does Lost seem kinda eh this season? After waiting for the 3rd season to come back from its break, I’m a little disappointed. It’s just not holding up my interest like it used to. Plus, they changed the time! I gotta fight to keep myself up until 10 and then it’s not that exciting? I know I know. You have to fight to stay up until 10, you say? Yea, well you’d be falling out at 9 also with a lil monkey who wakes up at 5 am almost every morning.
Anyway, what do you make of Lost this season?
technorati: lost, lack of sleep

Thanks Ciara. That’s all I needed.
Maybe you’ve seen the latest Ciara video. The one where she looks like a mix between Aaliyah, Janet Jackson in her Control days, and short-haired Toni Braxton.
My husband has now fallen in love with Ciara. I mean he liked her before, thought she danced good and such, which I agree, but now he’s in love. I like the song too, but the video is clearly meant for men such as my husband, so they can salivate all over themselves. What’s bad is that my husband loves to share. He loves to share so much that EVERY.TIME the damn song or video comes on, I MUST hear ALL about it. It’s down right sickening. :eyeroll:
If you haven’t seen the video, just take a look and see what I mean.
***WARNING: Do not watch in front of your husband for he may drool all over you.***
Now tell me, how am I supposed to compete with THAT? :sigh:
Don’t forget to vote for me on TopMomma!

MySpace has…
TA.KEN O.VER THE WO.ORLD!
It’s official.
The other day I saw a tv commercial for Chili’s, you know, the restaurant. Well at the end of the commercial instead of plugging in their corporate website, they showed the link to their MySpace page. I couldn’t believe my eyes! They were forsaking their own website to promote their MySpace site. WOW!
Now, I’m not complaining about MySpace, I just simply couldn’t believe that it was being used as the main connection to Chili’s on the web.
How many of you have joined the MySpace craze?
technorati: tv, chili’s, myspace

Hey mooooooooom
In response to Plain Jane Mom’s post, The Zero Boss suggested she watch the following video. Baby girl doesn’t talk just yet - well she says a few words here and there - so I guess this is what I have to look forward to in another year or so. You’re gonna love it!

Babies shouldn’t watch TV!!!!
I’ve posted some cartoons in the past relating to pregnancy and motherhood which I think are cute and make me smile. They are done by Everyday People Cartoons. There are cartoons on plenty of other subjects too. Here’s another one I like - well this one is also on mommyhood, but if you check out the website, I promise there are other subjects as well! 
Now, I especially like this one because I do this all the time. :gasp: Oh no! How horrible of me - babies shouldn’t watch TV until at least age 2, right?! Whatever. Baby girl loves her Baby Einstein and other Disney shows. I’ve watched them all and since they all teach something in the process, I doubt I’m rotting her brain too much. Besides, she doesn’t get that much time in front of the TV, only for times like these where you just need a moment to get dinner going, or need to run to the bathroom, or need to make a call, or - hmmmm, they seem to be adding up. Anyway, you get my drift. I’m really not that bad. I do read to her, play with her, and such, all non-TV activities. I’m not such a horrible mother, then, right?

All is Lost
Lost is taking a break from season 3! I have to wait until FEBRUARY before a new episode will be shown. How can they make me wait that long?
In other news - we picked out all our options for the house. You can sure spend a lot of money in upgrades at that design studio! But, I did get my stainless steel kitchen! Here’s what my fridge will look like - well, minus the nice array of fruits/vegetables and wine bottles.
Now that the house situation is pretty much set up, I have to start planning the lil monkey’s 1st birthday party. I only have a month left and I haven’t even bought invitations or written up a guest list! I guess that gives me a to-do list for the weekend…
Have a great 3-day weekend everyone!
technorati: 1st birthday party, 3-day weekend, stainless steel kitchen, to-do list, lost
