They say you can't please all of the people all of the time, and nobody knows that statement to be true better than parents. Whether you're trying to decide what to make for dinner or where to go on vacation, chances are your kids are going to have different opinions, and somebody's bound to end up disappointed (probably you!).
In a hilarious video posted on June 18, a toddler and her baby sister are sitting up in their mom's bed in the morning, about to watch a video. What's it going to be? The baby is apparently a Ms. Rachel fan, while the big girl prefers 'Bluey'...and unfortunately, only one kid can get what she wants.

If you've got a little one who's obsessed with either 'Bluey' or Ms. Rachel, this clip from @katie_clinker will hit home! The baby was about to burst with joy , she was so happy to see her favorite show on the screen. The toddler, on the other hand, went immediately into acute 'Bluey' withdrawal. Hopefully she got to watch an episode or two after the Ms. Rachel video was over! (In the comments, the mom said her older daughter secretly likes Ms. Rachel, so she probably got over her outrage soon enough anyway.)

Why Do Babies Love Ms. Rachel So Much?
There's a reason why little ones have such a huge response to Ms. Rachel — her content is carefully designed to not only appeal to babies and toddlers , but to boost their development.
According to Yahoo, Rachel Griffin Accurso is a former New York preschool teacher who received a Masters degree in Music Education from New York University. In addition, she studied speech development and early childhood development and is currently working on a second degree in early childhood education. Accurso produces her popular YouTube channel, Songs for Littles, with her husband, Broadway composer Aron Accurso. The songs are created to help kids learn how to talk , as well as learn numbers, colors, letters, animals sounds and more.
"What makes Ms. Rachel’s video so popular is her slow-paced and engaging style. She speaks intentionally, repeats herself and gives children ample time to respond. Her researched approach not only keeps kids entertained but helps speech development. Additionally, parents love the simplicity of her videos that provide parents with tools to use at home with their children."
Accurso got the idea for Songs for Littles when her son Thomas was diagnosed with a speech delay ," as the mom told NBC News.
"His first word was at 2 years and 8 months and it was 'mama' and I had waited for that for so long. As a parent you want to do anything you can to help them and it's not our fault when our child has a speech delay. A lot of things I teach are things I wish I had known for my son...I needed experts to help me. I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if there was a show that really encouraged language development and worked on these important milestones and was slow-paced and a real person and very interactive?'"
When she couldn't find the show she was looking for, Accurso decided to make it herself, hoping it would "help more kids."
Babies like the one in this video are proof that Accurso did exactly what she set out to do!
