One of the positives of TV with kids is that with our two, it really seems to fire up their imagination. Caleb, in particular, has always had a knack for re-enacting scenes he's watched in Thomas, Bob the Builder, or Cars.

A couple of weeks ago, we bought the soundtrack to the movie Cars. I was particularly surprised when he listened to the classical pieces and could remember what scenes they were associated to.

There is a particular classical piece at the start of the film during a racing scene, where the music peaks when Lightning McQueen jumps and flies through the air, with his tongue flailing away.

Whenever the kids hear this part of the music, their cars always take to the air in slow-mo, and they stick out their tongues just like the car in the movie. It's priceless.
