Baby Praise

I have been wanting to share about one of Andrew's (and my) favorite things! The "Praise Baby Collection" cds and dvds are precious!! At our house, we call them Baby Praise, and whenever we ask Andrew if he wants to watch Baby Praise he gets so excited and immediately goes to the TV.

Now, let me say, I am not a big fan of putting movies in for Andrew. In fact I really try not to show them much... but Baby Praise is different. The dvds are so soothing and calming to him, and I truly believe that they are good for his mind and spirit. The praise songs are beautifully sung - Wilson and I even enjoy listening to them. I find myself singing them throughout the day!

The dvds shows children (of various ages, cultures, nationalities, abilities) playing with one another or discovering something new on their own, it shows animals of all kinds, and even presents some educational material such as ABC's and 123's - and all of this set to uplifting, praise music. You can also buy cd's of the music.

The Bible study that I've been attending on Philippians focused on verse 4:8 recently. "...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is lovely, ... - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." How great to feel that the Praise Baby Collection is providing wholesome, nurturing material for Andrew to listen to and watch.

Andrew first began watching the Baby Praise movies in his carseat on his first long road trip when he was about 5-6 months old. He has enjoyed them ever since, and I think between me and my mom, we own them all! Our latest one to love is the Christmas one. It is so sweet. One of my favorite things about it is how is tells the Christmas story in simple, understandable terms... Andrew stops to listen to the story each time he hears it.

Please check out the website: www.praisebaby.com
The cd's and dvd's would be great gifts for your little ones or for friends' babies. We've bought ours at Lifeway. I just wanted to share what a blessing these have been to us - I hope you'll enjoy them too.
