Oh Toodles!

if you have a young child like me, you probably watch more kid shows than adult ones. and you're probably glued to playhouse disney channel more than others because of mickey mouse (clubhouse). you even know each song lyrics and probably memorised the dialogues after watching the show over and over and over and over......

as much as i want to limit cayden's tv exposure, i cant. the tv is the only thing that can make him sit down in one place for a long period of time. that means, i can do other chores without worrying on what he'll be up to as soon as my back is turned. he only watches the disney playhouse channel (and +1), alternating between mickey mouse clubhouse, handy manny and special agent oso.

anyways, watching the mickey mouse clubhouse, you're probably familiar with toodles.
Once the problem of the episode has been explained, Mickey invites viewers to join him at the Mousekadoer, a giant Mickey-head-shaped computer whose main function is to distribute the day's Mousekatools, a collection of objects needed to solve the day's problem, to Mickey. Once the tools have been shown to Mickey on the Mousekadoer screen, they are quickly downloaded to Toodles, a small, Mickey-head-shaped flying extension of the Mousekadoer. By calling, "Oh Toodles!" Mickey summons him to pop up from where he is hiding and fly up to the screen so that the viewer can pick which tool Mickey needs for the current situation (wiki)

now cayden thinks we have a toodles! one time, he wants me to change the channel (to +1) but the remote was on a table a few feet from where we were sitting. i told him to get it. he didnt want to get up so what did he do? he shouted, TOODLES!!!!! it was really a laugh-out-loud moment =D

another time, he came in to my bedroom and asked me to read him a book. i asked him to get his book from his room. instead of getting up, he again shouted TOODLES!! =D

if only there really is such a thing! (and handy helpers too!) but sorry, baby, you would have to do things yourself.
