beautiful day...beautiful boys

Here's some shots from our photo shoot at the Botanic Gardens a few weeks ago...Matt got some really great pics of the boys...I don't think I am even being biased when I say that...or when I say those are some super cute kiddos!









So...which one is your favorite???

Great Kids Shows

One of the great things about not having cable is that we actually don't watch that much TV. But when we do, we are still able to get what I think is the best programming for kids on PBS. The educational value, the slower movement, and just the cleverness of each of the shows is enough to even keep me entertained!

Two of Jack's favorite shows right now are WORD WORLD and POCOYO.

Word World is on PBS and has just been another great tool for us as we are learning to read. All of the objects are actually made out of the letters that spell that word, so it is a great visual tool for the kids. Target also has some great merchandise that goes along with the show.

Pocoyo was actually found on one of his Word World DVD's and then we found it on YouTube and then also found the WEBSITE. It is just a cute little show about a little boy. I like it because of the simplicity. Jack loves anything that resembles claymation...maybe a future artist like his daddy...hmmm?

Anyways, just thought I would put in a plug for these two shows because they are really very good. I know if you are like me that you want the time your child spends watching television to still be quality time. Happy watching!
