Our Thoughts...

Balian is a big fan of Disney Junior shows, but he'd never really gotten into Doc McStuffins before. When we received this adorable DVD for review, he was excited for me to pop it in. As soon as the show started, he was captivated by the theme song, right off, and singing it for the rest of the day. 

We watched and giggled as Doc helped the gulpy gator's tummy to feel better, fixed Xyla's broken key, fashioned a seat belt for the little green guy in the rocket ship, and helped Susie Sunshine relax so she could take a nap. Doc is full of love for her special friends, and not only does she fix up her toys and stuffed animals, she is always quick to help others, putting their needs before her own.

As a parent, what I love most about Doc, is that she teaches her toys and friends one of life's important lessons in every episode, and she learns a few lessons, herself, as well. As fun as I try to make brushing teeth for my son, he's just not into it, most of the time. From watching Doc and her stuffed pals, he's learned that it's important to brush his teeth after meals, so he doesn't wind up with smelly salami breath. He's also much better about laying down to take a nap, after watching the episode about Susie Sunshine being cranky, because she didn't get enough sleep.

Plus, if kids ever have any fears about going to the doctor for their check-up, having them watch Doc McStuffins beforehand is a great idea. She's so gentle with her patients, and her instruments only tickle... they never hurt. Watching this with your kiddos and explaining correlations between the cartoon and a doctor's visit in real life might make it an easier-going trip!

We love Doc, her pals, and her family.
We can't wait to find out what types of ailments the Doc will cure next!
