That Baby DVD & That Baby CD: Stuff Those Stockings

For the past month, many of our parent bloggers with kids in the range of 0-5 have been checking out Rob and Lisi Wolf’s new release That Baby DVD (and the accompanying CD). Known for their religious production Oy Baby!, this Seattle based couple (and partners in parenthood) together with singer/songwriter Stephanie Schneiderman, have put together something that parents will really enjoy.

Oh right. And the kids too!

Featuring arrangements of wonderful songs like “These are the Days” by 10, 000 Maniacs, and Pony Boy, a Bruce Springsteen favorite, That Baby DVD and CD pushing the kid’s music envelope a bit further by providing parents with something they’d already have on their iPod.

Our first round of bloggers had rave reviews of both the CD and the DVD, both of which can be purchased in time for Christmas at 20% off (code PBN). This last group of bloggers shared similar sentiments.

As far as the CD went, bloggers were so happy to hear some of their favorite tunes. “The best part of the CD and DVD is these are songs Fly can grow up with.” Another added “So That Baby CD is obviously a better option than most of your child’s favorite music, unless you have a really cool kid who likes the original versions of this song, in which case, you’re doing OK.“

And of course, the true test — bloggers were listening to it even when their kids weren’t in the car. “I have actually enjoyed it as well - it does not grow boring and I find myself turning it on, even when alone in the car.” Added another blogger “The kids love bopping to the songs, but let’s face it. The most important listener is me. I love the music.” Or take this blogger “Ok. Cara loves it too, but I’m the one who has to deal with it being on repeat. So, shouldn’t I get a say too?”

Jessica from My Five Little Monkeys had a special message for Rob and Lisi. “Thank you Rob & Lisi Wolf. You’ve saved Me. You’ve saved me from a lifetime of singing the same inanely repetitive songs over and over and OVER again my head.”

One blogger found that her son was totally soothed by the cd.

And then… the real miracle came when I dropped him off, no fighting. No tears. No yelling. Just happy little boy, jumping out of the back seat and running quickly into school, singing “Pony Boy” in his adorable, if muffled voice. And it’s been like that every day since.

Bloggers enjoyed the DVD, and offered a variety of comments.

- “I think the DVD is a great idea for little kids. The songs are paired up with video images filled with kids, nature scenes, puppets and animation.”

- “What I loved about this DVD is that the music is so pretty and most of the songs are songs I already knew.”

-…”But most important, they’re all palatable for the adults, but engrossing enough for kids that you could probably sneak in some magazine reading while they watch.”

- “Even better, my children didn’t settle onto the sofa beside me. They twirled and danced right along with the show.”

- “The DVD also uses a nice technique, presenting a gallery of photos that one by one come to life, giving young children a chance to process the change. This is a nice alternative to the faster-paced videos and TV shows being produced for little ones.”

The bloggers admired Rob and Lisi for taking their dream and making it a reality. Plus, it’s nice (especially during these times) to support a family-run and operated business.
