Keep trying

This won't mean much to non-parents that don't watch Noggin, in particular the annoying Yo Gabba Gabba. But, as annoying as it is, it's songs teach good lessons. When Noah gets frustrated building blocks or something we sing the "Keep trying. Keep Trying. Don't give up. NEver give up. Keep trying. Keep trying. You'll get it right. You'll get it right". Yes, I know brilliant lyrics. Anyway, it actually helps him keep trying and not get frustrated, believe it or not.

Today he wanted to watch a TV show and somehow the TV is messed up. I told him "I'm trying Noah, but it's broken and I can't figure it out, so we can't watch a show" then he broke out into song....

"Keep trying! Keep trying! Don't give up. Never give up. Keep trying. Keep trying. Don't get it right. Don't get it right" It made me laugh and I felt like I had to keep trying. Never did get it right though.
