Heidi Noelle Lenhart

10 years ago, my oldest nephew (then age 5) became obsessed with a kids' movie shown on Fox Family Channel. The name was "Au Pair." However, my nephew, prone to repeating phrases from TV and movies, called it "The Au Pair with Heidi Noelle Lenhart." It aired repeatedly, as most kids' movies do on channels like that and in the commercials, seen over and over, it was always referred to that way. He heard it so many times that he called it that, too.

None of us knew why he liked it so much. We just knew that if it was on, he wanted to watch it. So, watch it we did. Over and over and over. He had it memorized. We had it memorized. It wasn't a bad movie but over time, it did get a little boring. Thankfully, the movie finally faded from the play list and nephew moved on it other interests, until...

2001, when ABC Family Channel (which had replaced Fox Family Channel) started running ads for "Au Pair II." I can't honestly say if nephew chose to watch this movie or if the adults in his life planted in his head that he wanted to watch the movie. Either way, we happily watched "The Au Pair II with Heidi Noelle Lenhart" many, many times. And then, like with everything else, it also faded from our lives. Forever, or so we thought. Until...

TODAY! The ABC Family Channel is having the world broadcast premier of "Au Pair 3." I first saw the add over a month ago and immediately texted my sister-in-law. She was as excited at I was. Nephew, now 15 years old, couldn't care less. We do, however, plan to force him to watch it. Won't hurt him and it will amuse us to no end. So, if you need a little family entertainment today, check it out on ABC Family. Just for fun, they are showing 1 and 2 right before the premier 3. I highly recommend them!
