A Pleasant Surprise

Blogger is sure acting up tonight. Let's see if I can even post this!

Anyhow, coincidentally enough, despite me recently airing my thoughts about the Shaytards vlogs these days, they go and post one tonight which totally contradicts that. Let me just paste the comment I left on that newest video to sum it up:

I just wanted to say that I think this is the best Shaytards vlog I've seen in a long time. Not a lot of craziness like there's been so much of lately, just some truly entertaining and sweet moments. Babytard was much more talkative, which was nice to see, and I couldn't help but laugh from Rocktard with the towels. Even Sontard's explanation for the salt and pepper shakers was funny just because he was so confident about his answer. This one made my night. Thumbs up, guys.

And I meant every word of it. When Babytard is by herself with Mommytard, she's like a different person sometimes; talkative and interesting to listen to. Shay and Princesstard's excessive hyperness is one of the things that's turned me away from the Shaytards, so I thought it was funny that them barely being in this episode resulted in it being one of the better ones in a while.

Don't get me wrong, I started watching Shaytards because of Shay's personality. And there's still times when he acts like he used to. But without all the craziness in this episode, it really reminded me of why I started watching. It's because I'm old enough to want kids of my own now, and I always enjoyed seeing the family interactions in just an ordinary family. Watching Mommytard interacting with the kids in this newest vlog reminded me of that old feeling again, which, to be honest, is not something I've felt in a long time from watching. While I do wish success for them, unfortunately I think it's success which is leading them away from what made the vlogs good to start with. I hope they can find that again one day. Or if nothing else, just tone down all the crazy stuff.
