Sienna's love for Baby Einstein (quite possibly the greatest time buyer for moms!) first developed when she was just a wee one with little eye sight. Even though she may have only been seeing blurred shapes and colors, whenever Einstein was on the TV she was highly focussed and interested!
Julie Aigner Clark has moms everywhere kicking themselves... I am sure we have all once said: "why didn't I think of that!" Who knew, toys and puppets swaying in time to music would entertain babies so much?! I also thoroughly enjoyed the "repeat play" option on the DVD's whilst I was cooking dinner, or cleaning (okay... I never really cleaned when Sienna was a newborn, I was probably lying on the couch wishing I had a maid) Einstein was always there to help!
Now that we are in London and the DVD system is different (why would you not make all DVD players able to play all DVDs!?) Sienna gets her fix by watching Einstein on YouTube! Her favorite is:

We always put it on during dinner and she is thoroughly entertained for 30 minutes while occasionally looking back at us only to give us the stink eye if we talk too loudly! She now actually pushes my head to the side if I try to give her a kiss while she is mesmerized by "old Macdonald had a farm e i e i o!"
As long as Einstein isn't on I get all the attention I could ever ask for, and I love every second of it!
