Do you have an Amazon.com in UK ? Like a European one - there is one I think...just seach in video under titles like "construction" or "fire trucks" etc until you find something suitable. That is what I did LOL and...

I know alot of people here don't do the TV thing, but since you mentioned Disney video, I thought you might be open to this. I have a 3 1/2 year old construction and fire enthusiast. I purchased several (3) "real" videos of...

ITA about following cues. Especially on shoveling (not that you are, that's my word) gruel/babyfood into them. Neither my daughter just turning 11 mos nor son 3 1/2 yr would take babyfood. My dd is now (and has been for several...
