5 Minutes of Peace - Raggs Review & Giveaway

Why is it that whenever I need to go to the toilet, have a shower or take an important phone call, Tricky chooses that exact moment to cry?

Is there a baby sixth sense that realizes the most inconvenient time? We can have a whole day of happy playing and dancing and endless renditions of 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' but as soon as I have to do something important... waaaah.

It is an innate gift, I think, to be able to time it so perfectly. He will not make a peep when I go on Twitter, obviously realizing it's not important. Smart kid.

So I have been known to put on a DVD for Tricky when I know I'm getting a phone call or I need to have a shower and I've not managed to do it while he was asleep (see previous mention of Twitter). And I refuse to fall in to the "I'm a bad parent" guilt trip for doing it. There are worse things than a few minutes of TV.

I was sent a copy of "Raggs - Bow Wow Boogie" to test out it's captivating powers on a one year old.

Staring. Clapping. Dancing. Hanging off cabinet.

As far as kid's DVDs go, it ticks all the boxes: it's bright and colourful, teaches morals and tolerance, and encourages lots of singing and dancing with the Raggs Kids Club Band.

Tricky especially liked the live audience part where a bunch of kids get up to sing and dance along in the totally cute and uncoordinated way only a preschooler can pull off. He's rather obsessed with music, and it makes his muso parents very happy.

So the DVD got me my 5 minutes of peace... which is all I'm really looking for in a kid's DVD. Oops, there goes my Mother of the Year nomination.
