I remember my first experience with Baby Einstein…
Jackson was about one year old. He was my first child and I still clung to my idealistic parental aspirations – no TV, no sugar, etc. (It is amazing how some of those plans can stick for quite awhile when you only have one child. The first sugary thing Jackson ever tasted was his cake on his first birthday – which he hated and I had to give him canned peaches instead.)
But at about twelve months old, my incredibly happy, fun baby went through a painful teething stage. He was fussy and miserable and he wanted mommy to carry him all.day.long. I had to feel for the little guy. His mouth hurt. And he was cranky. And he didn’t know why.
One day, in complete despair, I reached for the Baby Einstein DVD that Susan had bought Jackson months before. I dropped it into the player and collapsed on the couch. Within seconds, Jackson was captivated. His teething pain dropped out of the picture, replaced by puppets and classical music.
Sitting on that couch, watching my son laugh and interact with his “friends” on the TV screen, I decided that maybe a little bit of TV was okay. I mean if my mouth hurt and no one could tell me why, I would sure like some dancing puppets to come soothe and entertain me. And maybe – just maybe – mommies need dancing puppets too.
Now, six years later, Olivia is quickly growing up. At over six months old, (I have lost count on the actual weeks,) she is about ready to meet Baby Einstein. Up until now, she has only visited with Elmo once on a Sesame Street DVD and she thought he was just fabulous!
So when Disney sent over their new Baby Einstein DVD, Baby’s First Sounds: Discoveries for Little Ears, I was definitely intrigued. I wondered if Olivia would love Baby Einstein like Jackson did.
Olivia is a lot younger than Jackson was when he first watched Baby Einstein, so her attention span is shorter than his was. But she is definitely intrigued by the engaging, musical show. At her age, of course I am not going to be plunking her down in front of the TV to watch for an extended period of time. But a short little visit with some Baby Einstein characters is definitely a fun treat.
If you think your baby – and you – could use some dancing puppets, check out Baby Einstein’s new Baby’s First Sounds DVD that is available now.
For a sneak preview, here is a clip in 500k Quick Time and in Macromedia Flash High Bandwidth
Baby’s First Sounds: Discoveries for Little Ears engages little ones’ interest by first exposing them to the common sounds from around the world. Each sound is then said out loud several times to encourage little ones to repeat what they hear and to join in the fun. In addition to introducing first sounds, Baby’s First Sounds: Discoveries for Little Ears incorporates familiar songs, such as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star†and recognizable nursery rhymes, including “Humpty Dumpty†and “Hey Diddle, Diddle,†to encourage parents and little ones to sing out loud together.
The DVD also includes bonus features that further emphasize parent-child interaction. Designed to provide caregivers
with tips on how to engage and interact with baby around the theme of “first sounds,†the bonus features include “Fun With Phonemes†where Baby Einstein puppets introduce little ones to the sounds of the world and feature real-world images that correspond to the sound heard on screen. Baby’s First Sounds: Discoveries for Little Ears is recommended for little ones age six months and up.
If you want to win a copy, leave a comment at this post. We have three DVDs to giveaway.

Wonderful site and products. Thanks!
The youngest member of our clan is six-months-old and teething. Although she is normally a very happy baby she has been a bit moody as of late and this video might just be the ticket to put a smile on her face. Thanks for the great giveaway.
It’s never too early to teach your children and they are never too young to learn. They may not be learning the exact concepts being taught,but they are still learning. For instance, they may not be ready to learn letter sounds, but they are ready for music appreciation. It is amazing what can be learned through osmosis — repeat something enough times and something is bound to sink in. Thanks for the chance to win!
this show rocks!!count me in!!
I would love to win this set for my newborn son. Thanks!
I love Baby Einstein, my daughter would love this DVD. She already loves the baby signs Dvd.
Baby Einstein is such a great show!

Great contest! Please enter me.
I’d love to win a copy. I love Baby Einstein!
Hey Moms … We had our fifth child back last year, and I was looking for flexible ways to make some extra money while she stayed home with kids. As we turned to the internet, and started researching different ideas, she continually ran into scam and spam at every turn. As I became more involved, we realized there were money making opportunities, they just need to be uncovered and understood. While much of this has been trial and error, we started to discover what was successful and what wasn’t. At this point, it was time to document some ideas and successes, and hopefully get some feedback and suggestion from other entrepreneurs. Of course, part of this blog in itself is not only to share ideas, but hopefully gather a viewer and referral base, to have more opportunities for everyone to be successful.
Cheers.

Yes, Baby Einstein is a lifesaver, I don’t have any of the 3 you’ve listed above! My son who is now 14 months loves them! But we now have a daughter on the way in September!
My little buddy enjoys Baby Einstein. We started playing it for him when he was only a few months old. I believe the first DVD we purchased from him was Baby Mozart. He loves the music and bright colors. Since that time, we purchased probably 8 different copies of Baby Einstein. Our little buddy has enjoyed them all.
Would love this for my kiddos! I love Baby Einstein…

Baby Einstein DVDs are great for my grandkids.
My oldest at 4 still likes to watch B.E. and we’d
love a copy of the new DVD.
Nice prize.
We are big fans of Baby E…..sign me up please!! 🙂
My child-rearing experience is identical, except for the teething story. My first born watched little or no tv until she was older than 1. When I found out my Mom snuck her a dum dum sucker – I was mortified. My son was exposed to all of the above much sooner. I guess we just do not have the energy to maintain all the rules that seem good in theory! We love Baby Einstein!
Blessings!
I’m still in the idealistic stage with my LO (14 mos) but I’m getting ready to give baby einstein a try!
I want one I want one.
Oh we LOVE Baby Einstein! We want in, please!

This would be great for my brand new cousin!
That is an absolutely wonderful giveaway! My daughter now has 3 of the Baby Einstein’s (not this one yet though, and she just got 2 of them yesterday at her b-day party!)
My 1 yr old has yet to take ANY interest in the TV, and that’s ok. But I do have a question – how do you all corral your kiddos when you sit them down to watch TV? Playpen… high chair & some snackies… or just sit with them? Just curious what the ‘right’ way to go about really introducing TV would be.
Yeah, I got a little off-track here! I really just wanted to compliment you on what wonderful items you pick to give away – they’re such a blessing to us all, even if we don’t ‘win’ here. We know everything you give out is a real ‘winner!’ Thank you for another awesome giveaway, and thanks too for letting me take part. Much love and God Bless!
My kids love Baby Einstein!
My new baby would love this (my other kids probably would too 🙂
