Baby Einstein

Cali likes to watch Baby Einstein when she first wakes up in the morning. I don't mind because it gives me a chance to eat my cereal and try to feed her something (she doesn't like to eat breakfast, usually). Lately I've been finding myself singing the songs throughout the day or thinking about a particular scene in a show.

My sister-in-law Kayte gave us a box set of the DVD's, so thankfully I don't have to watch one too often (although Wordsworth and Doolittle are her favorite because she can sign the animals). But I've been getting annoyed lately that I don't know the names of all the puppets. I know it sounds totally lame, but not knowing and not being able to find a list of the puppets names online has got my panties in a twist.

I know the cow is McDonald, the kangaroo is Galileo, the goat is Vincent Van Goat, the sea turtle is Neptune, the giraffe is Beethoven, the monkey is Jane, the dog is Pavlov, the Lion is Newton, the dragon is Bard, the reindeer is Santa, the cat is Wordsworth...but I think that's all I know. I don't know the duck's name or the frog's name...but it really doesn't matter.

Now, I know how some people feel about Baby Einstein videos, but we like them. I didn't have her start watching them until she was a year and I think it's really fun to watch her learn the signs for different things and I think she's picked up on it better since watching the series.

That's all for now...
