giveaway loot:)

As part of 1+1+1=1's 1000 Subscriber Celebration, Carisa gave away a BrainyBaby dvd. And we won! I was super excited for Noah to try their Animals dvd, especially since no stores around us seem to carry BrainyBaby products.

The dvd came in the mail this week...Noah was quite excited to watch it:)

Noah doesn't watch tv or dvds very often...the only thing he will actually sit still to watch is his massive Thomas the Tank Engine collection (he's apparently so over Imagination Movers now:) ). But he watches these very passively and tends to fall asleep after about 20 minutes.

So imagine my surprise and delight when Noah sat still and watched the entire Animals dvd, pointing/talking to the different animals and kids and clapping along to the songs?! He was just as engaged when we watched it again today:)

One thing I really like that they actually have narration/facts to go along with naming the images rather than only naming things. I think because of that the video will grow with him as he gets older and more knowledgeable.

I am definitely adding some other BrainyBaby products to Noah's Christmas List:) And thank you again, Carisa, for hosting all of those great giveaways and introducing us to some awesome new companies!!!
