ds3 LOVES hte baby jagoooooooooar

( as an aisde he was on dhs shoulders the other day and was ashouting "'bajo" at dh - i had to trnaslet fom the spanish that he wanted to get down!! arf!)

[WelshBoris]

what?

[Spagblog]

DD has learnt so much from Dora. We are often found singing arriba up, abajo down (sp?)

[foxinsocks]

yes mine love it (I walked in on them doing all the actions!)

but from an adult point of view, what a marketing rip off. They have virtually the same characters (something similar to backpack and map) but they have obviously done it to go at the 'boy' market!!

[WelshBoris]

ah it's dora is it?

[foxinsocks]

dora's cousin diego

on a positive note, mine can now say 'Alicia' with a totally impressive spanish accent

[WelshBoris]

thank you.

DD is too young for Dora yet, but it seems a better class of programme than lazytown etc

[foxinsocks]

is lazytown the one with spartacus?

both dora and diego are good and you will find your child picking up the odd spanish word!

last night dd (who eats plenty of fruit and veg anyway) insisted on having a carrot after her pudding because spartacus eats lots of fruit and veg and can do all sorts of impressive athletic moves (apparently) and this morning, she could almost do a cartwheel! Amazing this fruit and veg lark.

dd loves it too. Her best mate is half Spanish so she watches it so she can pick up some words to impress her friend! I've never watched it tbh.

Lazytown seems ok to me though

[WelshBoris]

lazytown has a 10 yr old girl and 2 grown men dressed in lycra

and I think the girl has a crush on one of the men

bit weird TBH

DD prefers doodle do and the tweenies

[Mercy]

Sportacus.

Yes it does send out a good message

[WelshBoris]

yeah good measure but a weird undercurrent

and a bit too American

[foxinsocks]

lazytown is totally weird

I never watch their TV anymore but was strangely fascinated by lazytown and ended up watching the whole thing with them (I waited till the end and saw it's Icelandic which possibly explains something as I can't think of any other notable Icelandic children's programmes)

it's v popular with dd (age 5) and her mates

[WelshBoris]

good message I meant

[foxinsocks]

but having said that do you remember Chorlton and the Wheelies ? I looked that up on the internet and that was totally weird but I really loved it - and they didn't do 'good messages' in our day really.

True, I'm not keen on 'fruit candy' or whatever it is.

[poisson]

whast is fruit candy
si it on deigo
i must have misseed it

[Mercy]

no it's a Lazytown thing - I think I got it wrong, could it be called 'sport candy'? Which means fruit or veg I believe.
