Thank you Julie Clark.
For any parent out there, you would know Julie Clark is the founder of the Baby Einstein madness. Such a simple concept - take a little Beethoven, show a clip of a plush dog jumping up and down and you will have a child enthralled for hours. That was what we used to show to Jack when he was a baby. You know, when you need those precious 20 minutes to just take a shower, and nothing else would calm Jack down, a Baby Einstein would usually do the trick.
He has since graduated to the Little Einsteins, which is the cutest show with some adorable little cartoons that have ever been animated. They still use the same concept, classical music and art, but now they actually talk rather than have just little toys bounce on the screen.
My dad is a big fan of this show, since he is the master of classical music. It makes him happy to see his grandson watch a show and listen to Mozart and the great composers.Somehow he may do well if we took him to the CSO.
As I write this, I was playing the Nutcracker Suite. Thinking that my son is Mr. Classical, I thought for sure he would want to listen to the whole symphony. His response was - No I want to listen to the Doggy Song."
What Beethoven # symphony is that from? I told him that it was Tchaikovsky, and he stopped a bit and said " From the Little Einsteins?" Yes Jack , from the Little Einsteins. After that followed Sleeping Beauty from said composer, and that was when once again Jack asked for the Doggy song.
Oh well, my thought is this - We can take Jack to the CSO, but only if their program for the night was the Baby Einstein spectacular.
