While we were in Texas visiting Grandma, we watched a lot of PBS. She didn’t like the characters that were on Disney and after 10:00 sometimes Disney is for tweens and not little kids anymore. Must be the summer time schedule because I could not find Tigger and Pooh.
So we saw a lot of commercials for Dinosaur Train and every time we saw the commercial for the show coming in September she wanted to watch it. She’s already seen the first two episodes. We love Dinosaur Train. I like to sing the theme song to her all the time. PBS sent me their Back To School Newsletter and this picture is taken from the newsletter.
We also enjoy Sid the Science kid and when everything has been unpacked from the big move we’ll be watching our two new DVD’s that have a ton of episodes on them. You can learn a lot about Science like making
