We love this at our house!!! (updated)
15 October 2006
My husband, my 4 year old, my 2 year old, and me...We all love it! Our boys are into repairing things, but we didn't like how Bob the Builder often whined....since we don't like reinforcing something they do enough naturally without cartoon characters reinforcing it. :) Manny has a great attitude. We love that Mr. Lowpart's cat has a comb- over as well. :) So funny! Manny is humble, genuinely interested in others (more than just another repair job), has a positive attitude and great work ethic. His tools have such fun names and the music is catchy. We're all singing the songs around the house these days. My two year old gets up and dances when the song comes on. My 4 yr old talks about Manny and his tools and some of the other characters throughout the day. We were in the van last week and he was talking about Mr. Lowpart and his cat. I couldn't remember the cat's name, but my son reminded me that it's Fluffy. :) Great show that we all look forward to when we can tune in! :) ...Coming back to add that we recently noticed a theme in the shows. Every tool is useful...just for different jobs. It teaches turn taking...sometimes it's someone else's turn to help with a job, but we're all working together. Love this! Also my 4 yr old has learned to distinguish whether "Felipe" or "Turner" is needed just by looking at screws. :) He is constantly wanting to work with my husband now on projects around the house. LOVES going to the hardware store now. :)
