The Queen's portrait aside. I wonder if they removed that when he became a peado.

Do you think? I don't think he was. When he would draw famous cartoon characters in Rolf's cartoon club they looked nothing like the characters they were supposed to be. All a bit wonky.

One of my greatest achievements of parenthood is managing to avoid 99% of children's television. :D

That's no achievement when you have stuff as good as Octonauts! You are missing g out, Jdm. It's just full of happy :D

Why do I gave the subtitles on? Darwin is having his afternoon nap, so I am watching Octonsuts. I've seen this one sbout twenty times already. It's aces.

Have the same thing with Thomas the tank engine :)

My son loves playing with the trains, they are so expensive costing £5-8 each and in some cases £50. Think that some adults collect them hence the prices.

So I bought this huge set on Ebay of around 60 for £100, its mad how he knows all the names (each one has the name on the bottom so you can check )

He also has a full set of the 65 books which was another EBay Bargain £15 and I don't think they had ever been used.

We read the books to him constantly so I guess he learns the trains from those.

Also find he is very fussy when watching the TV shows, I scroll down the episodes in the media player and read out the title and he sits there saying No until I get to one that he likes the sound of!

Also find he prefers older versions of shows, he likes the "Clay model" Fireman Sam far more than the more animated newer show.

The most amazing thing comes about if and when children get j to dinosaurs. The ability to differentiate, remember, pronounce and SPELL dinosaur names is mind-boggling. Big ideas sponges.

Have you taken minifish on an actual train yet?

Yes we have taken him on a couple of "normal trains" I go a couple of stops back and forward to a nearby town with him and we go to a café.

Also took him here http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/e ... homas.html. its a place where they restore old steam trains, next to Didcot station but separated track wise so kids can run about. They have Thomas days every now and again so I took him to one. Good day out, aside from the Thomas stuff there are loads of steam engines kids can climb on. Also we had to take 2 trains to get there so double fun for him!

Then there is this place https://www.draytonmanor.co.uk/thomas-land

Not been yet as my wife said we should wait until next year as he is just 3.

Does anyone remember this? It terrified me as a kid.



I assumed it was just my feeble child's mind that made it scary.

Nope.

Watch from 1.10.

Still terrifying.

I remember having the same reaction. Quite distressing for an 8 year old. Although I do vaguely remember watching it and thinking "what... That was it?" so perhaps not so terrifying now.

That, and the story about the newel post. Brr.

I don't know, the way he wraps his fingers around her mouth, pretty intense. The camp, waddling dragon goes some way to neutralising the fear factor, admittedly.

Heh. I did some modules as an undergrad. And had some girlfriends who did it a bit more. It seems to be more female weighted than other science.

My mate did a PhD in fish behaviour. He net his wife through marine biology. Good xall.

Heh, no. It was some story about a newel post that came to life at night. Made me scared to go to sleep.

It was pointed out to the teacher in question that this was perhaps not an ideal story for 7 year olds.

Due to a comination of exposure from nursery and every single toy dept you go into my son now likes Paw Patrol

He asked me to get him some from the internet (at 3 he know where his TV comes from!) so I did

Horrible show, hopefully he will move onto something else soon.

Read that as contamination at first, which I thought was entirely appropriate when it comes to most children's TV.

Olly is obsessed with Transformers: Rescue Bots at the second. It's actually not that irritating, fortunately.

A neighbour gave us "The cat in the hat" on DVD as he ended up with two copies for some reason? The kids love it and have wanted to watch it every day for the past couple of weeks.

It's not at all annoying.

**Edit** Also, released in 2003! Wow... 13 years old. I wouldn't have said it was that old. How time flies!

Because I'm an excellent parent*, I refuse to let the kids rewatch things endlessly. If they're watching something on YouTube or whatever that they've seen before, I'll make them flip to something else.

Also, I put a wonder woman animted movie on last night and it started with a full blown violent battle with beheading and death. It was awesome. Then it moved onto thinly veiled sexual innuendos. The boy (3 years old) loved it.

Like I said, excellent parent

*Assessment pending

I'm a terrible parent, so Onora watches loads of adverts and YouTube. It's turning her into a massively spoiled little consumer, but it does make me laugh sometimes, as she says the exact wording from the ads as if they were her own.

"But Daddy, EVERY cake's a winner if you use Stork with butter!"

And so on.

Paw Patrol is okay actually. There's a lot worse out there. Onora was obsessed with Ninjago, but then she read a story where a nasty snake hypnotises several of the ninja and make them fight each other, which she DID NOT LIKE.

She is now obsessed with Pokemon.

Oh, and she wants to be a YouTube star. She has made several videos of "Onnie TV".

I patiently recorded them, and then didn't upload them to YouTube.

Izzy did similar recently but about Vanish something or other, while we were in the cleaning aisle in tesco. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

Because nobody needs to see a five year old spend nearly eight minutes opening a packet of little toys.

By the time she grows up the only career options open to anyone will be youtube star, professional e-gamer or celebrity chef. Everything else will be done by robots. You may as well get her started now, pad out her CV.

She spends a lot of time watching similar videos, but they are all run by adults, with the kids getting vaguely involved along the way. On "Onnie TV", I get told off for talking.
