The first time we put the DVD in, Blazer was mildly interested. The DVD is a collection of musical snippets in Elmo's wonderful world of counting and life lessons. Colorful, cute, but still not a cartoon, which Blazer is use to watching.
Today, Blazer was A-W-F-U-L. He would mope about the house, yelling and screaming. (Sarah, if you are reading this, I don't think a raptor has anything on my son. You know what I mean.) He just wouldn't stop. NOTHING was helping. Long nap, NO. Cup of Fruit2O, NO. Food, NO. O.M.G. kid!
After dinner Aaron just decided to put in a movie and see if Blazer would calm down. He chose the Elmo movie. I gave Blazer some milk and sat him in his chair with his blanket. The movie started and Aaron decided to do his homework while I browsed recipes for the holidays. Minutes go by and not one word from Blazer. There wasn't even a sound of him rustling around. Aaron thought he fell asleep so he went to check.
Blazer was completely engaged with Elmo - eyes glued to him!
Here is Exhibit A:
Thank you, Elmo. You made our night so much easier!
Happy Tuesday!
