Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, its DDs favourite.

She calls it Chilly Bang, and sings along when that song comes on! She is two.

PavlovtheCat · 31/08/2008 17:35

Ah, sorry, just read you have ordered that. Good choice!

My DS fell in love with CATS and Joseph at 3 so maybe she might like them.

DS is nearly 8 and still watches CATS !

DD was sitting on the end of her bed the other evening singing 'The Boy Next Door' - she is only 3 - it brought a tear to my eye
