Attention Seeker !!It has became obvious to us yesterday that Little Skywalker is an attention seeker afterall like all other toddlers. We thought he is different because he always play by himself and constantly trying to escape his parents' scope of sight.
After tucking him to his evening nap yesterday, J and I started playing our new PS2 game - "Fantastic 4" by Activision. Kinda boring game at first because J (second co-op player) only assumed the character of weird looking and weak robot instead of other F4 characters. But as the game progresses, it became more interesting as we both can use different F4 characters.
Before we managed to finish the first chapter (long chapter by the way), Little Skywalker has already woke up from his nap and start looking around the living room. He noticed us enjoying ourselves in front of the "evil box" and wanted to join in the fun. J held him together and let him feel the vibration on the game pad as we continue our fight against the evil Von Doom.
After a few minutes of playing (or rather feeling the strange sensation on Little Skywalker's part), he managed to get on his four "feet" and crawled to his usual toys (which is strange because he seldom played with them and rather throw them around the house). He started taking out his toys one by one and started asking J to play with him. He keep handing J his toys one by one and demanded J make them spin or switch them on.
J managed to entertain him while I paused the game for a minute. When we started playing again, he scream out loud and continue on his quest of getting his mother's attention. He would push the game pad away from his mother's hands and put other toys in them. Crawling to and fro from the PS2 machine and attempting to pull out the wires (showing early signs of engineer in the making) and press the bright blue reset button.
After a few minutes, we decided to give in to his demands and started playing his toys with him. However, he decided otherwise, he began his usual routine of standing up against the TV (maybe he wanted to touch some characters of some TV shows) as well as crawling around the house, up the stairs etc. instead of playing with his parents. Sigh!
So both J and I are left with chasing him around the house as usual to make sure he don't bump into anything or fall down the stairs.
Come to think of it, maybe J and I should get put some sleeping pill in his water the next time we want to have some time to ourselves. Or else, we will face another attack from the mighty Attention Seeker again to spoil our fun. Or maybe we should call him up in his office very often when he grew up and left us both retired in a home or something... just hoping...
Revenge is not far away!
