Video camera= ATTACK MODE

So about that video of Little Bug doing sign language.... I don't know if that is going to happen. Last night, we got out the camera and decided to do some signs. He would sign away for me until I hit the record button. It was as if the record function set off some dormant gene that was coded to get him to charge the camera in a variety of creative ways- scooting on his bottom across the floor between signs or casually standing up while he was signing to oh so slowly get nearer to the camera. Then... ATTACK OF THE 50 foot TODDLER AND HIS SMUDGING FINGER OF DOOM!!!!!!! FLEE IN HORROR!

I am hoping to get it done sometime soon- once I clean the camera and devise a way to keep him in one spot. Although, I suspect tying an anvil to his waist isn't appropriate- DARN! Seriously though, the camera comes out and he acts like a great white shark- speed in to check it out and then attack- only instead of teeth, it is tiny fingers that apparently were dipped in honey before being applied directly to the lens of DN's camera.

Little Bug often reminds me of a raccoon- he persevates on shiny objects and once he gets them in his hand, he ain't lettin go. We have figured out ways to use this to our advantage- letting him listen to music in the grocery store, letting him see the keys to calm him down, etc. The downside is that this obsession can make documenting his growth and childhood much like making a nature film- you lie in wait and then take the picture of your unsuspecting victim and hide. Its interesting and at times, I am pretty sure we should wear a pith helmet.
