Colin's been standing more and more, and we thought he'd dig being in a standing position while playing. So, Brad and I took the plunge and bought him an exer-saucer. The exer-saucer we bought has a music-playing, push-button (for lack of a better word) device. It has five buttons, all with an animal's picture on it. The first time you hit a button, it mimics the sound the animal makes. The second hit gives you the name of the animal in English. The third - the animal's name in Spanish. On the fourth, it plays classical music (or totally non-classical music made to sound classical, in the case of the cow playing "Old McDonald Had a Farm").
Colin has loved music since he was born, and he's a huge fan of not the exer-saucer as a whole, and not that particular device, but that particular device while playing music. When music is playing, he's happy as a clam.
When music isn't playing, this happens.
After getting sad enough often enough, Colin is now expert at slapping the button three times really fast, all while grimacing. After the fourth hit, when the music starts, he's super-psyched. (He has yet to play with any of the other toys.)
