And to think, all this happened because I told her she couldn’t watch another episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. I had to, for my sanity. There is only so much DJ Lance a person can take.
Oh and I thought it only happened in my house! I don't get Yo Gabba Gabba. Either you have to be a toddler or high to get past the strangeness of it all. We're a Max & Ruby house -- although I plot the death of Ruby on a daily basis.
Oh so true. I can't stand Yo Gabba Gabba but my son loves it. The only reason I give in and let him watch it is because it has some good lessons .... like not biting your friends. ;-)
But she really is quite adorable, even in the throws of her tantrum. Furthermore, I love that you're taking pics of her, during the tantrum, all for the blog. SO something I would do. "What? You're laying in a puddle of tears and are physically hurt? Hang on, just gotta snap a pic for the blog." It's a problem I have. hehe
Oh, and I agree, Yo Gabba Gabba is wacky to say the least. I use the opportunity to go do something in another room, whilst they're entranced by DJ Lance and the gang.
Oh man! Look at that face!! I love the hand on her chest in total despair...poor thing.
I'd love to tell you those tantrums over TV stop in time, but the 7YO and the 37YO are masters at throwing themselves on the floor to have to stop TV to ~gasp~ EAT dinner. Jeesh.
Clearly you just about killed her by not letting her watch it (as evidenced by the pictures). But she is pretty frickin cute and probably hard to resist. Good for you sticking to the No Yo Gabba Gabba stance! :)
I am so glad my kids are past Yo Gabba. And, that I have boys. But if it makes you feel better, it's not exclusive to girls. last summer, my son screamed at the top of his lungs (so the whole neighborhood could hear) "Murderer!"
When I could hold in the snicker I asked "What exactly did I kill?"
"My Dreams!" he shouts back, and then storms off into his room.
I love that instead of freaking at her you grabbed the camera. We were staying at my ex in-laws one time and my kids were fighting over who would be first... somehow they both ended up crying on the toilet together with pee on the floor... I took their picture before I made them help me clean up! I will haunt them with it forever! :) Way to go Mama!
She's gorgeous! I have two year old twins and they are addicted to Little Princess. YGG was big on the hit list for a while but it's been replaced. I just look on the bright side - one day they will feel that passionate about something worth while.
In the middle picture, it looks like you napalmed her village or something. And tell me, this was one of those "now that I put my foot down I have to stick to my guns even though, for the love of God, I should have just let her do what she wanted in the first place" sucky mom-moments? And yeah, I agree that: she's gorgeous even when she looks like she's in a TV movie about a happily adopted baby being returned to her birth parents against her will, I say No Gabba Gabba too, and Max is OK in my book, but Ruby is a pill.
I'm hotlining you NOW to the Child Welfare People. Or DFS, or whatever... Some outrage, denying her another episode of YGG. Really-- and you call yourself a mother... Sheesh!
I used to have sudden flip out/my brain is gonna snap/turn off the tv right away/moments when my kids watched that over & over too! and Is it just me, or does DJ Lance look like Obama? AND I agree with the other Post about Max & Ruby....Where are their parents??? Grandma bunny just stops by every now and then, WTF?? that always bothers me for some reason.
Hi, I'm Amber and I love chocolate. I have two kids: Tommy, who has autism, and Natalie, who has lots of opinions. My husband is in the Air Force. Email: airingmylaundryblog@gmail.com
Aw she looks so distraught!
ReplyDeleteExcellent. This will save me a lot of money this month.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how these shows are like crack to kids. They are ANNOYING TV addicts!!
ReplyDeleteOh and I thought it only happened in my house! I don't get Yo Gabba Gabba. Either you have to be a toddler or high to get past the strangeness of it all. We're a Max & Ruby house -- although I plot the death of Ruby on a daily basis.

ReplyDeleteI have yet to catch Yo Gabba Gabba on TV. I don't even know what they look like!
ReplyDeleteNatalie is one of those lucky ones. She can weep with all her might and still be adorable!
At least it's not Teletubbies, am I right?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, she does look miserable. I know that face! I make it when my hubby interferes with my reading time :-)
ReplyDeleteHow can someone so distraught still look so adorable?
ReplyDeleteNow that little girl takes that show seriously. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust waits til she start watching iCarly!
ReplyDelete=( Here I was thinking something SERIOUS was going on...I'm sure she LOVED that you were taking pictures of her all the while lol
ReplyDeleteOh, the drama in that first picture . . .
ReplyDeleteI get much the same reaction when I turn the TV off here.
ReplyDeleteLook at that face.
ReplyDeleteYou're suck a big meanie.
HA!
Poor sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up. I'm sure she was thrilled that you documented her behavior on your blog! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteDid she get the drama from her Mama? I just have to ask!
ReplyDeleteI dont know. I'd rather listen to Yo Gabba Gabba than a kid screaming. lol
ReplyDeleteWhen the do the production of "Gone With the Wind" in preschool, she's a shoo-in for Scarlett.
ReplyDeleteA to the MEN!

If you start now - you can wheen her off TV altogether...
ReplyDelete...and this would give her a reason to sit on the toilet for as long as it takes (reading a book if you are lucky) to get things done!
Great title! Haha
ReplyDeleteOh man! Look at that face!!
ReplyDeleteI love the hand on her chest in total despair...poor thing.
I'd love to tell you those tantrums over TV stop in time, but the 7YO and the 37YO are masters at throwing themselves on the floor to have to stop TV to ~gasp~ EAT dinner. Jeesh.
That face is just so sad! But I don't blame you. I can not stand yo gabba gabba!

Oh, the joy never ends. -J
Under the table must be her safe place for tantrums. Thanks for the birth control lol
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I know the feeling about Yo Gabba Gabba. It's the first thing my kid asks for when she wakes up.. seriously, she must dream about it..
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute even when screaming!!
ReplyDeletePerfect! That does look like an excellent dose of birth control!!! =)
ReplyDeleteI had the same experiance earlier today because i wouldne let my little one wear glue from his sisters gluestick like it was chapstick
ReplyDeleteIt's better than going to Wal-Mart!
ReplyDeleteHer heart was BREAKING!! You big MEANIE.
ReplyDeleteA mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!
ReplyDeleteNatalie is cute, even when she cries!
ReplyDeleteHaha you totally just ruined life as she knows it. My nephew had on a similar face on his way to naptime this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThese will be great to show around when she is 13.
ReplyDeletehaha!! Oh how sad! I love the first picture, it's like you have broken her heart!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! :) Poor thing looks like it is the end of her world!
ReplyDeleteOh the drama!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love that instead of freaking at her you grabbed the camera.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you captured her in mid-tantrum like that! You rock!
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous! I have two year old twins and they are addicted to Little Princess. YGG was big on the hit list for a while but it's been replaced. I just look on the bright side - one day they will feel that passionate about something worth while.
ReplyDeleteJust have to say how much I'm loving your blog

ReplyDeleteI love that you take pictures of her in the depths of her trauma. You're keeping them as a warning to future potential baby daddies, right?
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an award winning performance for sure!
ReplyDeleteHowever, it is a tragedy when Yo Gabba Gabba leaves the screen. Ha!
Clearly my brains have been scrambled!
Funny I cry when Yo Gabba Gabba comes on TV
ReplyDeleteoh my!!
ReplyDeletei think this is why i love my cat so much!!.. lol
OMG I love it.
ReplyDeleteWe told my 8 year old that DJ Lance was her real father one day... she had a similar reaction LOL
ReplyDeleteI used to have sudden flip out/my brain is gonna snap/turn off the tv right away/moments when my kids watched that over & over too!
ReplyDeleteand Is it just me, or does DJ Lance look like Obama?
AND I agree with the other Post about Max & Ruby....Where are their parents??? Grandma bunny just stops by every now and then, WTF?? that always bothers me for some reason.
Oh yes, the dramatic child ;) I know the feeling!
