Sometimes I get a chance to babysit my almost ten month old nephew. He's trying to stand and walk, which is good because it means he's developing well. But I swear if that little boy knocks over my trash can or pulls stuff out of my cabinets one more time, I'm gonna...just clean it up. I can't lie, I enjoy watching him discover new things and go exploring.
As a matter of fact, I enjoy it so much that I've bought him a set of Baby Genius DVD's. I didn't think a baby his age would pay attention to the TV, but I was wrong. He loves watching those DVD's! The first time I played one for him, he was rolling through the house in his walker. When he heard the music from the DVD start to play, he darn near broke his neck trying to see where the noise was coming from. He made his way towards the TV and just sat there mesmerized. He tried to watch the whole DVD but he couldn't make it through. He crashed somewhere between the dancing bears and the spinning glass balls. BG will be my secret weapon whenever I need him to be still. Yes, this can work.
I have DirecTV also, and they have a baby channel that is amazing! It works wonders I tell ya. Not just for babies and toddlers, but for teenagers and adults as well. OK, it wasn't meant for teens and adults, but the music and images are so relaxing you can't help but to be drawn in and hypnotized to sleep. And it's a peaceful sleep too.
My favorite thing to watch on the baby channel is the sand drawings. An artist sprinkles sand on the "screen" and makes shapes and object with his/her hands. It's interesting. You should watch it.
