Heh
Rowan 'discovered' his walkman today.
He's had it for almost eighteen months, but the thing about toddlers is that sometimes it takes them a while to understand how something works. And what they can get out of it.
I bought it for him to help us get through a transatlantic flight, and it was certainly useful. But since then it's mostly stayed on top of his chest-of-drawers, untouched.
Lately he's been listening to my mp3 player with me on the bus home. But this morning he started listening to his walkman after breakfast - giving me some very useful peace and quiet to get the morning routine completed - didn't take it off till we got to nursery, and hasn't stopped listening to it all evening.
He's looked so cute, nodding his head in time to his tapes. And the sight of him sat in bed listening to a story tape? Absolutely adorable.
Now I just gotta make sure he learns to use the thing in moderation.
In other news, I'm currently rediscovering my affection for 'Sue Thomas FB-Eye'. Never stopped liking it, but it's now back on at a time when I can watch it. The fact that I now have a three hour run of programmes for me to watch every night - Quantum Leap, Due South, Sue Thomas - is not that good a thing, really. But it goes some way to justifying my upgrading my cable package at Christmas, since that was the reason I wanted to be able to get Hallmark.
It also kinda soothes the pain of not being able to watch Sports Night every night anymore....damn you, ABC1...
The last part of my birthday present to myself arrived in the mail today too - two movies staring Josh Charles, that I ordered via Amazon. I'll probably watch the one I haven't seen yet in about ten minutes, once Sue Thomas is over.
