Tiny Planets

I've been thinking a lot about the last 5 years of being a parent and reminiscing about those early days, as new parents and getting a chuckle about how ill prepared we were. And I was thinking today at what a horrible sleeper little Z was. Poor guy, he had reflux like there was no tomorrow but man, it sucked for us too. And he woke every single morning at 5:00 AM...sometimes 4:50 but usually right at 5. We were so groggy and took turns getting him and heading to the living room so the other could sleep.

In this sleep deprived state, we turned on NOGGIN, which is now Nick Jr., channel 298, our saving grace. Z loved it. Especially at 5 AM because there was a show called Bing and Bong and the tiny planets. HA! Bing and BONG..i mean come on, these cartoon writers must be really pleased with themselves. Anyway, it had a very catchy theme song that both of us would randomly sing. I loved that theme song...it was awesome!! Kinda like music you would hear at a discotheque in Europe at 4 in the morning.

Ok, I know I am rambling but today I rented a new show for Z to watch. Dino squad (really dumb but he seemed to like it) and at the very end was a commercial for my buddies, bing and bong. They have long been off NOGGIN and I've missed them so. I started singing the song and then folks, I found it! So without further adieu, I give you...

BING and BONG

Oh the memories! Makes me remember having our little "Z" climb into our bed, turning on Bing and Bong, and quickly falling right back to sleep to that opening song. Then a very short 22 minutes waking up because he hated Miffy and friends. HA! Great post.
