Songs in the Key of Muppet

We are a Muppet family.

Nate and I find Muppets fascinating. I mean, how can this NOT make you smile.

So, when we needed something to keep Kendall a little busy while we were working on something else, we turned to Sesame Street. Too wonderful results. Kendall too loves those Muppets. Especially Grover.

Grover is Kendall's constant companion. He is on the TV - we actually watch Play with Me Sesame instead of Sesame Street. Less Elmo, more Grover, win, win. Kendall has a plush Grover that she cuddles and sleeps with every night - and he goes with us everywhere. If you ask Kendall where Grover is, she will walk out of the room to retrieve him - she always knows where he is.

She knows the other Muppets as well. Elmo is becoming a bigger draw, but never as much as Grover. She also loves Ernie. Burt is dull (and I agree), but that Ernie, he is funny! Kendall can even identify them and announces when they come on screen - just in case you weren't paying attention.

With the astounding success of Sesame Street Muppets, Nate and I decided to introduce The Muppet Show at Christmas. We picked up the first 3 seasons to watch with Kendall. She totally digs it.

Nate and I are finding how out dated The Muppet Show seems, but at the same time, it is totally awesome. We have no idea who half the guests are, but we giggle like kids when we see those Muppets. And Kendall? If you mention putting Muppets on she immediately gets giddy, then she hums the theme and dances around while all those Muppet's dance with her, points and announces when Kermit comes on screen. Then she looses interest for most of the 25 min of the show (unless Kermit or the Swedish Chef come on), until the credits, where she gets excited to see Rolf the dog playing the piano.

Those Muppets, they really are for all ages. And totally entertaining.
