"The House Movie"

Noah knows that on the TV you sometimes can watch movies. He really does't know what a TV show or DVD is. He has watched a movie about Shapes & Colors from Brainy Baby 100's of times and I promise that is how he learned shapes & colors, we also own an old video of "The Very Hungry Catepillar and Charolettes's Web" and the newer movies " The Cat in the Hat" and "Happy Feet" , maybe 1x a week for a "Special Treat" Noah gets to pick from one of these and watch for about 30 minutes. To him this is a HUGE deal and he will say "Can I please watch shapes movie or Penguin movie. Well the other night I was really into Extreme Makeover Home Edition where they are building a house for a family with who a son with several disabilities yet is so abled and happened to play piano and trumpet. Right before bedtime routine Noah sat with us on the couch and was so glued to the scenes that involved instruments and music (he is big into music and dancing) and then when the demo the house. He knows all about huffing and puffing and blowing houses down from the book "The big bad Pig". He only watched for about 10 minutes before it was time for bed. Since then he has asked everyday "Can I watch the House movie". Where does this stuff come from?
