Caitlin's made the connection between the remote controller and the TV

Caitlin LOVES remotes, phones, anything with buttons. She works so hard to get them only to have one of us take them away. And she lets us know that her majesty is displeased.

Last night, however, I was getting her ready for bed in the master bedroom, as usual, and let her play with the remote while I was getting her dressed. During her frenzy of crazed button pushing she managed to turn the TV on, which completely piqued her interest. Then she changed the channels and turned up the volume to deafening, at which point I shut the TV off, set the remote to a non-existant appliance, and let her have at it again. She wasn't nearly as amused though because every time she fiddled with the remote a bit she'd quickly arch around on her back to see if she'd had any success with the TV. Clever kiddo!
