Moms and dads need entertainment and these posts, for one reason or another will do just that
4 years old is a hot age for children and dinosaurs. They know dinosaur songs, the names of more big ones than I remember and seemingly can’t get enough of them. Extreme Dinosaurs is a new exhibit at Atlantic Station in Atlanta that has 17 audioanimatronic dinos that snarl, move and do things that will make children’s eyes open wide.

Really, I couldn’t write a better headline than that? Muppets Most Wanted-fun for all ages sounds so generic to the smiles, joy and laughter that I had when watching it. After sitting at the keyboard for a while, I keep coming back to that. It’s a great movie that children will enjoy and adults, especially those that liked The Muppets before, will genuinely laugh at.

Divergent is the worldwide mega book best seller with a strong female lead. I didn’t read the book-and I’m over 30-and I’m not a girl. Having said that, you don’t have to be a girl to like this movie, but it would certainly help if you were under the age of 20.

One barometer of how old my children are is the shows that they watch. Both boys love Thomas, but back when our first was young the transformation from real to computer animated trains threw me for a loop. Now the computer animation is what I expect from Thomas, Cranky and his other friends on Sodor. Now our 2 year old watches Thomas the Train with his older brother, while he tries to pretend he doesn’t like it.

Our boys are raised on Leap, Tad and the other critters that make up the LeapFrog videos. We started teaching phonics to our oldest and I partially credit their phonic usage in his being able to read sight word and fully know his A, B, Cs as well as he does. Their latest video, Letter Factory: The Letter Machine Rescue Team gets the band back together, but also amps up the education while tweaking the format.

Marvel Super Hero Mashers mash up toys fill (or create) a void in the children’s toy world. You’ve got your block type toys (LEGO or KREO) that you physically make things like ships, creatures and your action toys that come fully assembled. These mash-ups toys from Hasbro have interchangeable parts where everything but the torso can be switched out to another hero or villain.

Typically for my birthday my husband and I do a date night to a new sushi restaurant or new bar. This year, though, I thought it would be fun to spend the evening of my birthday with not only my husband but our oldest son as well. We went to see Ringling Bros. Circus, Built to Amaze. As the circus started after his bedtime he was out-of-this-world with excitement, which made me quite excited too. Other than splurging on cotton candy, I didn’t remember much at all about my own childhood experience at the circus and this was my chance to experience it all again with him.

I just asked my wife who her cartoon crush was. At first he said it was Superman, which I found very patriotic and take charge of her. She then corrected herself and said Mickey Mouse. I pressed her as to why and she said that it was because he’s a take charge mouse who solves problems and is an entrepreneur. Regardless of who your cartoon crush is Warner Bros is giving away a DVD that features some of their best characters, perfect for the whole family.
