Reach High, Think Big, Work Hard, Have Fun

Well - just when you think D couldn't love anything more than "guys" - he has a new and probably more passionate obsession.

D loves TV - - there's no mistake about that. He will sit and watch cartoons as long as we'll let him. This can be a blessing and a curse simultaneously. But he's developed a LOVE for one show in particular, IMAGINATION MOVERS on Disney Channel.

I actually don't mind them. It's a group of 4 guys from New Orleans who sing, dance and solve problems...or should I say "idea emergencies". For some reason D can't get enough. We didn't go to the live concert when they were in Chicago because it was so expensive - but this was probably the biggest mistake of our lives. We DVR'd the Disney Channel's airing of a 30 minute segment of the concert - and we watch it on repeat. Literally. D also understands that we have episodes on our DVR and OnDemand - so we cannot tell him it's not on. He literally has had multiple times outs for temper tantrums when he had to be cut off from watching too many episodes in a sitting.

I like these guys though - I like their story. You can read about them or watch videos on YouTube of them being interviewed. They're family men, all but 1 has kids - and old friends that did this as a group idea. And the kicker is, they're extremely talented musicians. Dain has even said if you changed the words to the songs - they'd probably be a popular/respected group.

Here's the part of each show where they start solving the problem of the day. It's their "brainstorming" song. We listen to in on my iPod, sing it in the tub, and dance along when it's on screen. The best part is the end - Reach High, Think Big, Work Hard, Have Fun. D can do the motions - and even says it over and over like a mantra sometimes when trying to fall asleep.



As much as I like them and I like that D likes them - I can't justify letting him watch episodes all day every day...which is what he'd love to do.
