You be Toot, I'm Puddle...

I'm sitting at my mom's house working today, yes on a Saturday. The location where I work is in a huge walk in closet that is converted into a craft/scrapbooking/office area. I get the best signal for Internet in there of all places in the house. Anyway, the closet is connected to the bedroom that has been converted into a playroom for all 3 grandbabies to enjoy.

So I'm sitting here working and Jackson and Taylor are playing in the playroom watching Toot & Puddle on Noggin. As the introduction music is playing, I hear those two negotiating who is going to be Toot and who will be Puddle. It's the cutest thing EVER! At first they each wanted to be the same character until they saw that one was a boy and the other was a girl so they each took the respective gender role. So now as they watch, they are trying to mimic the scenes from the show and are trying to grab the same toys from their playroom that the characters on the show are playing with. So if Toot grabs a race car, Jackson will go and get one. If Puddle says "Let's go to the pond", Taylor repeats the same line and Jackson (Toot) will follow. Anthony is in the other room reading Spiderwick Chronicles so he's not involved in the Toot & Puddle play.

The boys do the same thing with the TV shows and movies they watch together but they usually end up in a verbal fight because they each want to be the same character. With Jackson and Taylor since they are different sexes they don't fight about the characters as much. Anthony and Taylor don't usually do this because their age range differ so much that they watch different TV shows and movies.

Kids are the greatest!
