Don't Block The Commercials

This was what my mum told me this morning, when I was trying to get Thad's attention while he was in the playpen. My mum turned on the tv and was watching it and Thad decided to join in, standing in the corner and holding on to the sides to steady himself. Yes, he can now stand, and also walk a bit. He's already turned one, after all. Attracted to watching the moving pictures on the screen lately, he seems. Also to the music from the news on tv. Thus he didn't seem to take too kindly to my obstruction, and grabbed my face and pushed it aside repeatedly. When that failed, he tried to move his head to the side to look at the screen from around my head.

Oh well. Guess he should watch some tv to help develop and aid his talking. Especially when he's finally just called me uncle this morning. Granted, it was one-off, but I'm sure there will be many more instances in the near future.
