They love the singing part and watching the other kiddos. But here is something that I noticed: there are never any children with Down Syndrome, or Cerebral Palsy, or maybe in a wheelchair, or anything. Why could they not include them? They would be able to see "the wheel on the bus" or "row row row your boat" just as well. Maybe at a later age, but so what? The kids on the shows are from 12months to 6 years or age easily- total mix. They (producers) make sure to put kids from various ethnicities but don't think about the fact the there are many children left out. Just made me think today...totally off subject here but wanted to share....Esther and Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596248430419281945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502307737528869885.post-44430651617198075812010-01-12T10:25:28.620-08:002010-01-12T10:25:28.620-08:00Great job being both gracious and strong! :) It pr...Great job being both gracious and strong! :) It produces just the right result!M.Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241956439079629519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502307737528869885.post-56616491622586532992010-01-08T13:48:57.351-08:002010-01-08T13:48:57.351-08:00Woot!
