MJ's Top Movies of the Decade

Todd & I were discussing my 'Top 10 Movies' post the other day, when MJ kept saying, "I have some! I have some!" when we realized she meant that SHE had some favorite movies TOO! C'mon, what were we thinking, not posting her movie list on here too? So with a little brainstorm of the movies she's seen in her short life thus far, we came up with this list. And if any of you know toddlers, they feel pretty strongly about their faves....
Without further adieu:

1. Frosty the Snowman
2. Rudulph
3. Dora's Christmas
4. Barney at the Zoo
5. Baby Van Gogh
6. Baby Beethoven
7. Baby Bach
8. The Wizard of Oz
9. Elmo's Birthday Party
10. Angelina Ballerina

My friend gave us VHS (!) tapes of the Baby Einstein movies before Madison was born, and I thought, ok, maybe we'll pop these in one night when she's not going to sleep... Not really thinking she'd pay attention. But around 12 or 15 mos or so, these became the SHIZZ for her. It was all she ever wanted to do. I think "Baby Van Gogh" was among her first words in fact. It was a little weird. She was mezmerized. She's now seen them all enough to memorize the commentary... and luckily has branched out to other movies too, saving us from investing further in Baby Einstein and also saving our sanity!
