A few years ago Jrb’s dad left the majority of our collection of DVD’s on a plane. We have a winner!!! Tammy Mckean ~ you have won the 8 DVD’s. Congrats! Please email beth with your mailing address and we’ll send the DVD’s out! thanks!!
Apparently, it was very hectic getting off the plane and he panicked leaving the DVD’s, a sippy cup and Mr Moose behind. Since then, I have been hesitant to buy more DVD’s because they are expensive. So instead, I have opted to visit the library or our local FAMILY VIDEO store who kindly loan out Kids DVD’s for free. That is until recently…As a creature of habit (like his mom) my 4 year old son likes to watch the same thing over and over and over again ~ making borrowing videos a bummer since we can only renew each title only once.
Well the folks at Cookie Jar Entertainment have made things a little easier with BRAND NEW DVD’s starting at $4.99! Cookie Jar is the company behind various children’s entertainment brands including Busytown Mysteries, Mona the Vampire, and Calliou. The company was kind enough to send me a few of these reasonably priced DVD’s to review. So far, I am having trouble getting beyond Busytown Mysteries, because my little one loves watching it so much. (However, I plan on taking a peek at Nanoboy ~ the world’s smallest superhero! After JRB goes to bed.) Jrb’s Dad previewed Super Duper Sumos and really liked it although he said it had a lot of “butt” jokes making it suitable for him, but not our 4 y/o son!

My son loves Busy town, Mickey mouse clubhouse, doodlebops, Handy Manny. Toy Story(all of them) Avatar(or the blue people as he calls it)
We cycle through movies watching the same one over and over and over until it goes back to the library usually. The current favorite is Leap Frog Letter Factory.
My boys like all types of shows but right now they are into the Scooby-doo movies.
One day, while I was struggling putting my daughter down for a nap, The Neverending Story came on the television. This was a favorite movie of mine when I was younger, and as soon as Willow heard the soundtrack music, she calmed down, and fell asleep in my arms. It was a magical moment: snuggling with my baby while watching such a nostalgic movie.
My mom introduced me to your site – love it and hope I win the contest for my boys.
Oh, our favorite to watch together is anything Pixar and then lately the classic The Little Mermaid.
We like Wall-E.
