What to Do When There's No Playhouse Disney on TV?

No tv programs in the house!!!!!

Since yesterday afternoon, hasn't been able to watch tv, cos the old Astro card has apparently expired, & we have not received the new one yet!

Turns out that our landlord passed the new Astro gold card to the management office while we were back in Singapore, but the card was placed in the wrong mail box. So now the management office is hunting for the misplaced card, while we pray & hope that whichever neighbour who got the card didn't throw it away, else it would be weeks before we get a new one from Astro!

In the meantime, me filling Sam's days with various vcds: Barney, Sesame Street, Baby Songs..........turns out that Sam is afraid to watch Finding Nemo!!!! He seems to be afraid of the sudden appearance of the sharks & divers, and the frantic calls of Nemo & his dad didn't help either.

Then in the evening before bedtime, as a reward for drinking his medicine, I introduced him to the Playhouse Disney website, where he listened & watched 2 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse stories unfold.

Poor little guy, he missed his fav show so much: when I mentioned the words "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" he quickly sat properly on the sofa in front of the tv in eager anticipation, and was so puzzled when I brought him to the computer instead. The website's version didn't include the show's opening theme, which Sam missed & asked for, but luckily the stories still ended with the Hot Dog Dance.

Tomorrow will let Sam watch the Little Einsteins stories......hopefully the website version includes his fav "Pat, Pat, Pat" activity..............
