Yeah, he’s pretty cute.

This morning and yesterday morning Parker and Xander have ended up on the couch watching a few moments of Little Einsteins. I assumed that Parker, in his post-sleep stupor was mostly vegging out on the couch with a bottle, which for a few crazy moments in the morning is just fine with me.
This morning though, while I was trying to talk Xander out of his pajamas and into his clothes, Parker raised both hands over his head. I thought, “hmm, that’s a little random” but when I turned around to see what he was looking at, it wasn’t random at all – he was following the directions. In every single Little Einsteins episode (I say this with confidence because I have seen every single episode) when they take off in Rocket the have this little take-off routine that they want your help doing, and the routine ends with “blast off” and hands over your head.
I don’t know when I missed that, but apparently Parker is perfectly able and willing to follow directions these days – I guess I’m going to have to start giving some!
My daughter, who is about Parker’s age I think, does the same thing! She also does the pat pat part. We noticed this recently during her nightly Little Einsteins viewing. I don’t know why I was surprised by this, but for some reason I thought tv wouldn’t sink in with her this well for a while longer.
That’s exactly what I thought Annie! It’s kind of fun how they surprise us sometimes, isn’t it?
