A very interesting read. I'm glad this issue is being discussed.
Lil man is nearly 3 and 39lbs, he will be traveling in his britax frontier when we travel next month. The Frontier is aircraft approved but i have not heard of anyone actually using it on board. So if anyone has experience please comment!!

Yo Gabba Gabba
What is it about taking money out of the pocket of corporate giants that makes you feel so good? :D
We scored some cute "Yo gabba gabba" toys (the first i've ever seen) for $6.99 a piece. They had Brobee and Muno. Turns out they were suppose to be $19.99 each. Because they were all clearly marked with the stores tag at the price of $6.99 they had to sell it to us for that. We had four in total. Two for d and two for his little friend. They are really cute... I've never seen the toys anywhere before even online. The only "Yo Gabba Gabba" merch I've seen was some seriously over priced t-shirts.
Yo Gabba Gabba is a nick jr show created and headed by the singer of a band called the aquabats.

Anyone wanting a good pee in your pants laugh... try checking out the assortment of Elijah Wood dancey dance clips on youtube. People have taken his wicked moves from yo gabba gabba and mixed with with a wide assortment of tunes.

In the Night Garden
"In the Night Garden" is a show that orginated in the UK, from the same creators as the teletubbies. It is aimed at babies and preschoolers. I never liked the teletubbies... but Dylan's new found fondness for the "In the Night Garden" characters has some what drawn me in. I told doug it's like Pootie Tang for tots... they are speaking a form of English... but rather inverted. Nice relaxing xylophone music, easy on the eyes, the whole thing is suppose to be about a surreal dream. They play with this odd looking toy train called a "Ninky Nonk"... try saying that with out giggling?
Dylan's favorite character is Makkapakka. The lyrics to this characters little rhyme/ song go:
'Makka Pakka, akka wakka, micka makka moo!
Makka Pakka, appa yakka, ikka akka oo.
Hum dum, agga pang, ing ang oo.
Makka Pakka, akka wakka, mikka makka moo!'
There are petitions up on tree house to get rid of it stating it has no educational value. I'm not sure exactly what educational value the show has... if any. Just looking at those lyrics it's got to have some rebus or phonetic value to it. All the names and songs are vowel prominent and rhyming not unlike Dr. Seuss. Treehouse has alot worst programing in my opinion
