The Devil

It’s no secret, I hate Barney. Unfortunately Barney is one of the few resources for quality kids songs. It’s like everyone else got out of the business and Barny keeps the childrens’ songs of old alive (in between new crap of course). Baby Einstein in all it’s forms suck, and they rest is new crap like Yo Gabba Gabba (SO glad we don’t have cable). I’ve had mom dig out the old stuff, some even on record, and found things like “Baby Genius” which sounds like it would be horrid, but in reality it’s decent.

Anyway, we avoid Barney as much as possible but if it comes on before Mom realizes the time, the Twins demand to watch it. This happened yesterday. I tried to ignore it but then towards the beginning I heard it… “Just Can’t Get Enough.” NO WAY, I popped back out of the Kitchen and watched. To my horror my ears had NOT deceived me. Barney was in fact redoing Depeche Mode. It was some horrid bazaaro world. They sung the refrain like the original, but the other stuff not so much. I was frozen with my mouth agape staring at the screen.

I looked for a clip so I could share my horror, but haven’t found it yet. Only thing close is this promo for the new season. The episode just aired this week so maybe it will turn up on line soon.  I did find the lyrics though.

Potty Emergancy!

Potty training is one of the most insane things I’ve done, and that’s saying a lot. Every kids is different. If I was doing it one at a time perhaps I could cater to differences, but twins make the whole experience a million times more difficult. I now understand why the vast majority of twin parents I’ve talked with don’t really push the issue until 3 or so.

So most of my days are spent questioning the kiddos about if and when they need to use the restroom. The rest of the day is spent chasing them around, cleaning up their accidents and doing mounds of laundry.

Mia is the bigger challenge. She has more control over when she goes than most her age. She chooses to go in a diaper or in her underwear and deliberately holds it. She has control issues, as in she wants to control the situation. Not exactly sure how to deal with it, or even if there is a proper way. For the most part when she hasn’t gone in a couple hours I make her sit on the pot until she does. When she finally relents it’s obvious she was holding a full bladder. Stubborn kiddo… Ah to be two.
