The Button-Pusher

I tried reading the paper on the floor the other day. Mady was having none of that! She quickly jumped on it, and began kicking and tearing it to shreds. Turns out news papers are a lot of fun. I think she may have set a record on how quickly one can destroy a news paper.


The power button on our TV is right at infant/toddler height and it is a pretty blue light! This combination makes it near impossible for the average infant to resist. Mady's favorite thing to do is turn the TV off when everyone is watching it. It gets a great reaction out of the whole family, everyone begins yelling, which only makes Mady want to push the button even more! You turn it on, she turns it off. It's a great little game.

I decided to try and out-smart said 11 month old baby.
I taped a piece of paper over the bright blue light.
She quickly pulled the piece of paper off the light.
I applied more tape to the paper. HA!
Nope, still didn't out-smart the baby.
She quickly figured out that you can still push the button through the piece of paper!
Another favorite game Mady loves to play is "turn the power switch off on the computer." That's a fun one. That one really makes mommy yell. It's almost as fun as standing at the computer desk and randomly pushing all of the buttons you can reach on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse. Those also get great reactions out of mommy!
