Classical Baby

I am always looking for dvd's or toys that help us teach Molly things, as well as for entertainment purposes. I came across a dvd yesterday called, "Classical Baby, The Dance Show". It wasn't very much so I picked it up. It is presented by HBO Entertainment. I think that I saw a similar show on HBO when we were in Alabama last November. I thought the animation art was really great, as well as a various mix of classical music greats.

Apparently, there are two more dvds, and I have ordered them as well...Classical Baby, The Art Show, and Classical Baby, The Music Show." I am looking forward to getting these. Molly really seems to like them. They are quite soothing for parents to have on in the background, and not have various mix of cartoon shows playing. I get really tired of the repetition of most of Molly's programs, and heaven knows I know way to many of the episodes by heart.

I popped this dvd in this morning, and I enjoyed a cup of Irish creme coffee, while classical music played in the background, and Molly watched, and listened while playing with her puzzles. It was sure a lot more peaceful than, "Can you help Dora, and boots find the cookie?" or "Say, Rescue Pack!" I prefer the programs on PBS to Treehouse most of the time, but I can't complain too much about Treehouse, it has some really great programming. I still stand firmly by the Baby Einstein Videos, and The Little Einsteins programs. Molly absolutely loves them, and I know she has learned so much from them.

I really like the options, and resources that parents have today for their babies, toddlers, and children. It is sure a lot different than when I was a child.

Hopefully with all the resources, education, and technology that children have today, we can raise happy, healthy ,well-rounded,and educated children.

They are the key to our future.
