What programmes transfix your toddler?

My DD, who is almost 2, is now obsessed with Charlie and Lola. When she sees the television she shouts 'Lola' and turns it on, even though it's only on for 10 minutes a day. When it actually does come on she runs and tells everybody 'LOLA'.

Previously she would get very excited about In The Night Garden, but she's lost a lot of interest in that now.

She likes wildlife programmes as well, but won't do what she's done now, which is sit on my lap staring Charlie and Lola for three consecutive episodes on youtube, saying 'More' after each one.

DD is 11mths and LOVES Mr Tumble. Big smile when she hears the Something special music.

We have just bought the Something Special CD too which brings the same smile.

A friend with a deaf niece (older) pointed out that if her neice had been watching it then the bit with Mr tumble is only a one sided conversation so would of been abit confusing

Anything on the Disney channel, really.

Particularly Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (which I was astonished to find is actually quite educational) and Tigger and Pooh or whatever it's called (not so educational but not bad)

Looking good for our hol to Disney World in August!

64 Zoo Lane is a favourite with DS (2 and a half) right now. We sit together at the beginning and he names all the animals - really sweet!

Big Barn Farm definitely still on Some Guy..oh yes, it is on, and on, and on.

I like Big Barn Farm. Don't think it's on any more though. Much better than that Granny Murray nonsense or some of the other things that repeat 300 times a day (there's a sketch about an 'Any Animals Agency' that seems to be on incessantly).

I don't understand kerwhizz - what's the point? and isn't numberjacks really complicated? and I bloody detest InTheShiteGarden, absolute TWONK IMHO, was the writer on drugs??

Ds is 2.7 and peace can be guaranteed via the medium of Numberjacks and that crappy Waybuloo thing.

Oh and also The Simpsons and Doctor Who courtesy of dh. I'm slightly uncomfortable about The Simpsons as presumably at some point I'll have to stop letting him watch it for a few years (at the moment it's completely over his head). Not bothered about Doctor Who as I suspect once he gets to understand it he won't want to watch as too scary.

2.9 year old DD adores Dora, Diego, Wonderpets, Peppa Pig and Thomas. She has totally rejected CBeebies over the last couple of months.

Tom (3.2) loved INTG last year. He likes Bits & Bobs, the aeroplane in Come Outside, Brum and something else that I can't remember. Oh, and Thomas.

He does like Total Wipeout. He used to like watching the lottery.

My two are currently obsessed with Waybaloo but are also big fans of Kerwhizz, Charlie & Lola and Timmy Time.

And we all love The Simpsons too.

Waybaloo...

It is quite odd.

He is nearly 2.

He does the yoga.

He shouts hurray as soon as it comes on and pretends to float up in the air whilst making monkey Oo Oo noises an appropriate accompanying hand gestures...

DS is 2.4 He is still transfixed by ITNG and also has quite an obsession with 3rd and Bird. He also requests 2 particular CBeebies bedtime stories over & over again - Stickman read by Derek Jacobi and Winnie in Winter read by some bloke called Tom - our hard drive recorder is FULL of ITNG, 3rd&Bird and bedtime stories as that is all he wants to watch - if the TV goes on for anything else we just hear "Ni-dardan" "Buds" "Wisch" or "tickma" from him until we give in!

He will sit and watch Rugby though (Think DH must be bribing him with ice cream or something!
