Little Einsteins

I love watching Little Einsteins every morning on Playhouse Disney. It is such a darling show and it's by far Marisa's favorite show too. For those of you who don't know, Little Einsteins is an educational preschool series which was designed to teach litte kids art and music appreciation by integrating famous or culturally significant art works and classical music into the scenery, plot, and soundtrack of each episode. It features four children, Leo, June, Quincy, and Annie, along with their intelligent and transformable space/air/water-craft, "Rocket". In each episode they embark on an adventure, or "mission", to solve some problem or help a new friend. In my opinion, one of the cutest parts about the show is that it is designed to encourage viewer interaction such as patting their legs, gesturing, or singing along to help the characters succeed on their "mission". So with that being said, several weeks ago while I was cleaning up breakfast and Marisa was watching Little Einsteins, Tim quickly said, "Tanya, look at what Marisa is doing!" As we were both standing there watching her, we noticed that she was doing what one of the characters were telling her to do. She patted her legs, then did it faster, and then raised her hands high in the air to get ready for blast-off in their rocket ship! She did the whole thing and it was super cute! We had no idea she knew and understood what they were saying on tv. She is such a little einstein! And I finally got it on camera! (She normally says pat-pat-pat and blast-off in her own language, and really gets more into the patting part, but I still think it is pretty cute!)
