Remember the little French girl, Capucha, who took the Internet by storm when she ranted about eating too much candy? She's back with a magical story. It includes monkeys lost in trees, a witch, crocodiles, a tiger, and a "tremendously very bad mammoth." Is it just me, or does she sound particularly adorable because she's speaking in French?

I think it's time we update our Cuuuuuttteee and Funny Kids list!

There's something truly special about kid humor. It comes from this magical place of naiveness, silliness and honesty that makes it pure and undeniably hilarious. There are no planned punchlines, just accidental moments that capture the joys of childhood. Luckily for us, parents are often hanging around with their cameras ready to capture any and everything their children do or say. So who are the cutest, unintentionally funny tots out there? There are probably too many to count, but I dare you to take a five minute break and enjoy some of our favorites.

With the NCAA football season kicking off this week, it's time to ensure that your lil one has everything he needs to cheer on your alma mater. You may have the onesie version of the jersey and the cheerleader uniform ready to go, but does your tot know the fight song yet?

If not, Team Baby Entertainment ($15) has created 30-minute DVDs to introduce your lil fan to your school. Featuring clips of the school's campus, stadium, mascot and marching band, the DVDs also teach counting and spelling using words and phrases relevant to your school. The DVDs are reminiscent of watching a Baby Einstein video, with children stacking blocks and giggling as they watch toys go by. With 28 schools in the company's library, your child can start practicing his Heisman Trophy pose before he may even walk.

Anyone who has ever played the "claw" game at an arcade knows just how difficult it is to get those pesky metal "fingers" to actually grasp a furry toy. While her parents were out of sight, a three–year–old lil girl outsmarted the game as she crawled into the machine and pawed all of the playful options. If seeing is believing, watch the clip above to see how she got out of the glass case.

Older brothers tend to egg their little brothers on, but rarely do they do so with the intent of being injured. In this video that has some Internet staying power, an older sibling entices his younger mate to chew on a family bone. Luckily for us, the tot took it in stride and had a reaction we all can appreciate.

Luckily, my babe is still too young to ask uncomfortable questions that I am ill equipped to answer. It seems that some parents have figured out a way to handle sticky issues, even as bad as the Eliot Spitzer sex scandal. Have a look (and a laugh) at the eloquent princess below.

Jon Gosselin Goes Back in Time from Jon Gosselin

For better or worse, Jon Gosselin cannot go a day without being mentioned in the headlines. Lately, it's been all bad news for the father of eight - he's being sued, he's suing, he's breaking up, he's spending Christmas with Kate and the kids, etc. While his popularity plummets and his notoriety skyrockets, the reality show star is taking a different approach to garner new fans. In the name of self-deprecation, the good dad gone bad takes steps to turn back time. Love him or hate him, it's a pretty entertaining two-minute spoof on his real life, but I'm not sure it will earn him any brownie points. What's your take on it?

Video Monitors Help Mama Keep Uninterrupted Tabs on Tots

babysugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:00:33 -0700

"DON'T buy a video monitor for your nursery! You'll be addicted to watching it and will never sleep again." These warnings from experienced mothers were ones I wish I ignored. After spending $100 on a regular monitor, it took me a year to realize the error of my ways.

While some mommies find monitors useless or at least expendable, I rely on mine to keep tabs on my snoozing babies. In hindsight, a video monitor would have saved me getting out of bed to check on my wee one's sleeping status or interrupting my tot's quiet downtime. As soon as they see mama peep in the room, that playtime is over! Instead of discovering his toes or chewing on a toy, me wee guy is amped and ready to get out of the crib. Already six months into my second child's life, I'm set on investing in one of the gadgets. Which kind of monitor, if any, do you prefer?
