Postman Pat

A couple of days ago, I noticed Leo staring intently at the TV. Now, as I had BBC Breakfast on I thought it was just a tad serious (and depressing) for a 3 month old baby, so I put on CBeebies.

I must admit I was unsure if this was a good idea, this young. Second rate parenting, to quote a friend of mine.

But then Postman Pat came on and I was glad I put it on - Leo was transfixed! 

It started during the song but continued for a good 8-10 minutes into the episode. His attention did wander before the end of the episode (they're 15 minutes long) but that's no wonder at his age.

I told Daddy about it that evening and we found the theme song on Youtube. Again, Leo was transfixed, smiling throughout the song.

Convinced it was a fluke, I put it on again today, and sure enough it was a mixture of stares and giggles. Unfortunately I missed the giggles with my camera, but got a pretty good stare!

In other news, we went to visit Daddy at work today. Not quite as successful as previous visits as Leo's still a bit grumpy following his jabs, but it was nice for me to have other people to hold him whilst he squirmed and yelled. There's lots of ladies (and a few men!) who coo over him there, no doubt boosting his ego and not helping his grumpiness when we get home!

Tomorrow a local photographer is coming to our house to photograph Leo...and I suppose us with him! I'm hoping he'll be in a better mood or else we'll have to get creative with serious, grumpy and crying faces...lots of shots of feet and hands, I suppose! And I guess things like ears can't really look grumpy...everything but the mouth and eyes I guess.
