LOL! If it's any consolation, they usually grow out of it...eventually. Till then, maybe you can get him excited about making 'fish biscuits' together as a kitchen activity? And definitely make a playlist to alternate the 'Creature Report'. There's only so much a parent can take, right?

Actually, embracing their interests is a fantastic parenting win! Use this time to teach Mikey about the ocean, the animals, and maybe even conservation. It's a perfect gateway to science. Regarding the recurring soundtrack of 'Creature Report', try rotating it with other educational songs or even podcasts for kids, it can give you some variety while keeping him engaged.

Been there! When mine were obsessed, we made a game of spotting 'mistakes' in the show to keep me sane. Did you know sometimes the animation doesn't match the voiceovers? Spotting these kept me engaged with my kids even though I can recite the episodes in my sleep!

Haha, wait till he moves on to wanting a real gup. Hope you’re ready to build a submarine in the backyard. 😜

This is actually a great learning opportunity! Octonauts is a goldmine for teaching kids about marine biology. Maybe learn about real-life versions of the creatures in the show together? Could be fun and educational for Mikey, and it puts a bit of sanity back into your day. Also, I found a 'fish biscuit' recipe online once that was basically just healthy homemade crackers, might be worth a shot!

Sounds to me like you've got quite the adventure on your hands! But hey, at least 'Creature Report' is educational, right? Better than 'Baby Shark' on repeat...or is it? 😅

Oh, I feel you! My daughter dresses up as Peso every single day. And guess what's for dinner? Fish-shaped everything. Who knew Octonauts would be our lifestyle now, eh? 🤣
