So this is a bit out of chronological order, but it was a special request:
Before we came to Tasmania, a friend sent us a few discs of In the Night Garden..., a BBC children's series that features a bunch of quirky toys and creatures come to life (that's how I think of them, anyway. I'm not sure what the creators were thinking.)
Owen loved the show right away, and we watch an episode most days (the other days he watches Totoro, but that's another story). The characters have become a big part of Owen's imagination and daily storytelling - and he interacts with the show (telling characters what to do and playing along).
In many episodes, a group dance ends the show. If you haven't seen it, you can watch a little clip here:
And here's Owen dancing along. The kiss-blowing is based on Upsy Daisy's dance style. The other characters that Owen mentions are Makka Pakka (he says Makka Makka) and Iggle Piggle (Owen calls him Iggle Wiggle).
