Mama Please Blues Clues!

Remember how there was a show that you just HAD to watch when you were little? You obsessed about the characters and had to have the toys, shoes and lunchboxes that went along.

Brady has discovered his first show obsession: Blue's Clues. I'm not surprised, really. I mean, it has a dog in it (OOF! OOOOOFFF!) and music (insert Brady's tongue-clicking and head-nodding action that means "music" here), so it's a recipe for true love. He finally has an attention span long enough to sit mostly still for an entire show, and he now asks to watch it all the time. But not in words.

We still don't know many words, so he's picked up on a sign for Blue's Clues. We didn't teach him this sign- it was Joe, the other star of the show. If you've ever watched the show, you know that Joe (or Steve, for you old-schoolers) sings the song about how to play Blue's Clues at the beginning, and every time he says "Blue's Clues" he opens and closes his hands by his head. This weekend, Brady started making that sign too. So now he'll say "MAMA! MAMA!" and then make the sign for "please" followed by the new sign that means "Blue's Clues"!

We're not going to let him watch too much of it, though, because he turns into such a zombie when he watches it. Honestly, I'm surprised he learned that sign, because to look at him you'd think there was nothing going on up there when he's engrossed in his show. Well, I take that back. When they sing a song, he'll nod his head up and down, but other than that- zombie city.

No pictures to show just now. I've really got to break out my camera!
