it truly IS a World, World Wiggles!
My wife works in a public school. Today she walked into a classroom of Kindergartners who had been sitting on a rug, bored, for a couple of hours. They were tired and cranky and restless. So she said to the kids, “Are you ready to wiggle?” And they all erupted “Yeah!” and spontaneously jumped up and collectively burst into the Wiggles theme song, the one that goes, “Get ready, to Wiggle…” (To the unWiggled, the show seems to go through theme songs like Ellen DeGeneres goes through B-list blondes, each one more insanely catchy than the next.) (The theme songs, not the blondes.) (Well, you might catch something from Portia de Rossi.)
The universality of the Wiggles is undeniable.
Tonight after Little Maestros class we bought the toddler (she is too big to be a baby) two Wiggles DVDs at Kidville (which, as you might suspect, is a whole ‘Ville just for kids.) It was tough to select just two, so I finally decided on the first two in the pile. Now we can watch the Wiggles 24/7, on any TV, with or without Tivo. Honey, make some fruit salad!
Every day, in every way, the Wiggles are becoming more and more a part of the essential fabric of life.

Which two videos did you get? I can recommend the best ones since we have them all. Yes, I have Wiggles recommendations. Yes, I realize I am lame. So lame.
Shanna, Shanna, Shanna-- you're not lame. You're my public!
"Dance Party" and "Hoop de Doo."
LOL
We started out with Yummy Yummy first and about wore it out - highly recommend it! Jacob's favorite two are Wiggle Bay and Hoop De Doo. Dance Party is at least 10 years old, but we really like the "no silly joey's jumpin' on the bed" song. He's on a Wiggle Bay kick right now, and its not all that bad either. I think my personal favorites are Woo Hoo Wiggly Gremlins and Wiggly Play Time. It's a Wiggly Wiggly World has a few great songs on it as well, but we only have it on VHS and no VCR LOL
I'm not lame, I'm just not ready to move on to non-fun and non-musical kids shows (and oh-so-happy to be over Baby Einstein)
