Little Eisenstein's

Audrey has a few shows she watches on playhouse disney. They are:

• My Friends Tigger and Pooh

• Handy Manny

• Little Eisenstein's

She absolutely loves them. I think she would watch them forever, if she could. Well, she actually did that on saturday...Like I said the poor thing was so sick with a fever. She just curled up into a ball on the couch and didn't move.

I love them because it gets the kids involved. It'll ask them questions (handy manny doesn't...but they sing like 20 songs an episode and she enjoys that), it has them do actions. It's really great.

Little Eisenstein's is a recent addition to her videos. I really enjoy this one. The show is a continuous 20 minutes. What I mean is the show doesn't have two unrelated stories during the run time...I hope that made sense. And every episode focuses on a classical song and a famous painting. And the episode actually revolves around the song and plays the song in the background.

If you watch this clip for a few minutes you'll understand what I mean.



Anyway...Patrick and I have always encouraged her to do the actions and will do the actions with her. But she's never really has been interested in mimicking the cartoon characters. However, yesterday she started doing the actions without any encouragement from Patrick.

At about one minute in the video above the little guys has you pat your legs faster and faster. And Audrey was getting faster and faster with him. And then one of the little girls is a dancer and Audrey would dance with her any time she would dance. It happened while I was at work but apparently it was really really cute.

Later that night while I was watching "So you think you can dance" Audrey noticed the dancers and started dancing around the room. But, was actually trying to do what they were doing. If they had there hands up in the air she would put them up. If they would jump/leap around she would start jumping. If they started spinning......you get the picture. It was all fun and games until she tripped and ran her rib cage into the coffee tables corner. After that she wasn't too excited to dance. But it was really great while it lasted.

and by the way Audrey will raise her hands in the air and scream touchdown. She'll do the "GOOOO Cougars" action at the end of the fight song. And she can say "first Down" and do the action they do at Lavell Edwards Stadium. We're proud of our football fan.
