My Thoughts:

Do you have an Angelina Ballerina fan in your house?  It seems like my 17 month old daughter, Savannah, lives and breathes Angelina Ballerina.  When she is not watching the show on television, she is handing me one of her DVDs from her growing collection of Angelina Ballerina movies to put on for her watch.  It is sad, but I can recite each episode from heart, after seeing them, sometimes 2-3 times in a row.  So, when I heard that there was a new DVD, Sweet Valentine, coming out on January 3rd, I knew just the person who would be excited to see it – my ballerina, Savannah. 

I received a copy of the DVD this afternoon, and by this evening, we have already seen it 2 times.  As soon as I handed the DVD case to my daughter, she grinned from ear to ear, and grabbed my hand and let me to the living room to watch it. Once the movie began, she started to spin around and dance to the music.  Ahh, these are the best moments thus far that I enjoy as a mom.  I couldn’t help but get off the couch and dance along with her. And, for the next 61 minutes, we enjoyed mother-daughter time, which included singing and dancing, along with Angelina and her friends. 

I know that in a few short days, I will have this new DVD memorized, but I don’t mind, as I know my daughter is having a blast watching it, and it is a great way to spend quality time together.  So, if you have a little ballerina or fan of Angelina at home, why not pick up this new release just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Disclosure:  I was sent a copy of this DVD from the vendor in order to write up an honest review.  The views above are mine and mine alone.
