Miss Moana's Favorite Videos

Miss Moana gets so upset when her brothers and Daddy all leave to go to piano lessons or violin lessons, but she's so difficult to take out, so I usually stay home with her. Last week I discovered that she's much less upset if I let her watch videos while they're gone. So she's been watching more videos lately - a scripture song one called Hide'em in Your Heart for kiddies, Riverdance, and a Don Quixote ballet with Mikhail Baryshnikov that a friend loaned us (Miss Moana calls it "Donkey Honkey").

It's easy to tell what she watched last - after the song one, she'll be singing. After Riverdance, she asks to put on a dress, and then she puts her hands on her hips and jumps and kicks. After "Donkey Honkey," she asks for a pink dress, and then she twirls and does a lot of big arm movements.

Her other favorites are Winnie the Pooh, Bambi and the old Lassie TV series - but those are for special occassions.
