This morning Jonathan told me that today was Sunday and listed all the electronic devices he could play with today, including putting his Mozart CD in "All" the DVD and CD players in the house. My gosh, what an obsession.
I got him ready and Daddy took him to HBOT today. I went to the gym with Vanessa instead. When he all got home, Jonathan immediately went to play with his computer. New obsession: "www.nickjr.com".
In the afternoon, as we left to visit my extended family, he was watching a movie in the car and laughing out of control at something that he has seen at least 20 times. Then he was going crazy weird over another scene where Goofy is playing footfall and making strange passes. I asked him what was going on and he told me that Goofy was funny. Could not tell me the actual meaning of the sketch. Vanessa on the other hand explained nicely what was going on.
That made me think. How much does Jonathan actually understand from movies or even books? I need to find out. I believe it is kind of superficial. He was laughing at sad or scary situations. But in other movies, he seems to get more of the meaning. That does not make sense.
When we arrived at my extended family's house, first thing Jonathan did was put in a movie in the DVD player in the kitchen, and 10 minutes into it, he wanted to change it. Then he stopped it and watched Noggin for a bit. Then he asked if he could play with the computer. My blood was rising. When he starts behaving like this is when I wished I didn't have to work and could take care of him and do RDI. He desperately needs RDI. I simply have no time.
