And for his next trick...

Andy and I realized very quickly that AG was and is a thinker. He studies and analyzes everything because he loves to figure out how things work. Really. This would be the same child that figured out how to turn on the Xbox, while it is in a child locked cabinet, before he was 10 months old. Andy and I didn't figure out how it was turning on "by itself" till about six weeks later. We now keep the batteries out of the guitars and drums when we are not playing with them because AG WILL turn on the Xbox. Last month he decided to remove batteries from the tv remote in the living room and carried them to the back of the house to put them in the Guitar Hero drum set...so that he could turn on the Xbox which is still locked up.  We've never shown him how to remove and replace batteries. And he managed to put them in the right spot...guess his mother the teacher should give him a lesson on + and - so that he may learn how to install them correctly.

Anyways, fast forward to yesterday afternoon. I'm cooking dinner. Andy's finishing up work at his new desk in our room. He's had the door open so AG can come "visit" him. While at the stove I see AG cruise thru the front hall from the bedrooms headed to his room. I didn't think much of it till moments later I hear the "VeggieTales" theme song blaring from his room. I then yelled over the music to Andy asking him if he was still in our room. He was. We then realized that AG had found a CD in our room and decided he needed to hear it. So he went on his own to his room. Opened his CD Player/Alarm Clock (which on a side note he's figured out how to set the alarm. I'm not even joking.) and removed his Baby Einstein Lullaby CD. He carefully placed it on the bed next to his CD player. He then put Bob, Larry, and the whole gang on full blast. Andy and I got to witness a dance party for one. Life with AG is never dull. Looks like we might have an engineer on our hands.

Ps- Today he decided he needed to figure out how Andy's measuring tape worked...
