I've been up since 5am this morning. Why? Because my daughter, Nadiah, decided to wake up early and bugged me to switch on her favourite kidddie show of the moment -- Hi5. Those of you who are without children, or do have them but are too young for tv watching, you may not know this show. Or other kiddie shows for that matter like Barney or Jojo's Circus. Hi5 is a 5-person, very energetic Aussie group who sing and dance and at the same time teach kids about shapes, numbers, words and all of those stuff that kids are suppose to learn.
Ok back to my daughter. Since my husband had copied all of her many, many CDs into the PC, I have to click here and there for her in order to play the show (this also means that I'm sharing the screen with her at this very moment!!). So there I was in the wee hours of the morning with part of me still asleep (didn't go to bed until 1am the night before so that's only 4 hours sleep!!), clicking away with the mouse to get the right file. Not only do I have to get her Hi5 moving, I had to sit there with her and sing and groove to the songs. This is 5 o'clock in the morning, people! Subuh pun belum lagi!
Due to my daughter's interest in Hi5, Barney, Sesame Street and other kiddie shows, I have memorised practically all of the songs and the dance routines. I am ever ready to sing a song whenever she snaps her fingers. She's like a magician and I'm her gorgeous and sexy assistant (I wish!!). Not that I purposely sit and listen to the songs and try to memorise them by hard as if I'm studying for my A-Levels.. the songs just floats around in my head because I've listened to them one too many times. Unlike my loving husband who struggles to sing a Barney song whenever Nadiah wants him to. She gets upset when you can't sings the songs. So my husband keeps bugging me to write the lyrics. Should I? I think not. It's fun to see him pretending to know the lyrics when in actual fact he's making up the sounds. But best of all is the look on Nadiah's face when you sing for her. It lights up the whole room. You just want to smile right back at her just because she's smiling at you. Barney is right: "A smile is a present you can keep when you give it away". See, they do teach some good stuff on this shows.
