Marek has always liked his Signing Time and Little Pim DVDs (also 30 Rock's opening credits, it's an in the womb thing). We've often used his 15 minute DVD attention span to get him to sit still long enough to feed. Lately though it's gone to the next level.
Marek will quiet happily watch these two DVD series .... well, I think all day. If you say Little Pim in front of him, he will drop everything and head up stairs to watch it. Often, if you turn it off before he's done, he'll even get angry. I think he even invented the doggy ASL sign to stand for Little Pim.
Thank goodness they are educational.
We're especially excited about his sign language taking off (it took a long time to show up). He's had fan and fairy (we made a sign up) for months, but we started to see a new sign every few days, sometimes even a couple in one day. He now signs fan, fairy, car, hat, ball, flower, baby, rain, and PIM (doggy). There's even a few more consistent signs we haven't quite figures out yet. I think there might be a version of leaf, flag, sun, and moon possibly.
He recognizes babies, balls (anything round; pumpkins, balls, globes, circles), and hats everywhere and does the sign instantly. When he took his hat off at the library, a few minutes later he was signing hat. If he sees a ball, or hat in a book (without out saying the word) he will sign the appropriate sign. Flowers are followed by a finger and deep sniff of the nose. Baby is if he sees a baby face or during the Baby signing time credit; Which is really quiet cute.
I captured the pre-bed tired look, but he generally looks quite happy and dances around while watching the DVDs. Luckily he doesn't seem to like any other TV.
