We totally do the singing stuff! I bought all the leapfrog vids when Marcus was little and add the new ones when they come out. When he was 2, he had maybe 5 words he'd ever said but was singing the entire alphabet and able to name all the letters and their sounds just from watching that leapfrog letter factory vid a few times. Music is a HUGE key to Marcus learning because it's a separate area in your brain than speech and the music area isn't affected by his communication disorder. We're always looking up songs for things, haha! I'll have to try that animaniacs one. we have a 50 states and a presidents of the US one that I learned while in kindy and it's stuck with me! Music really works!
