so he watches tv… sue me!
someone once told me that my child is more likely to develop autism if i let him watch tv…
hmm…
whoops!
autism comment aside, jackson watches tv… obviously… he watches two shows, “sid the science kid” and “super why” (his fave). not only have paul and i memorized the songs that ROCK go along with these two shows, but we encourage an abundance of magoo dancing during show time.
position 1
position 2
position 3
there’s a lot of arm-flailing, bird-flapping-like movements… sometimes with squatting…
position 4 (he's not pooping... this time)
in the coming weeks, jackson will be spending a lot of time with both sets of grandparents in atlanta. i will be doing a lot of traveling as i attend a baby shower for jackson’s godmother, a wedding for my college roommate, and a 4 day cruise with my brother to celebrate his college graduation (and all-around-awesomeness).
so, grandparents, be warned… set your DVRs now and start recording these shows that bring our magoo such contentment.
Have a Sip
