Pookie has a love affair with all things electrical.  He loves lights, ceiling fans, outlets and switches.  One thing that always calms him down is to stand under a ceiling fan.  Better yet, turn on a fan and he is enthralled.  Pookie has recently found the light switches.  He will go to great lengths to turn switches on and off.  Our house is inundated with light switches.  Rob feels that you should be able to turn on a light from multiple points.  This is useful in someways.  However when you're trying to turn on the light in the hallway and you end up turning the light in the living room off, that creates a few problems.  Either way, our house does not lack in light switches.

In Pookie's room there is a switch that goes to an outlet on the wall.  This particular switch is on the wall that his crib is on.  In fact, it is within reaching distance of the crib.  The other night, I had put Pookie to bed and all of a sudden I heard click....click....click.  Rob and I looked at each other and started laughing.  Our little Pookie had found the switch and decided to start turning it on and off.  Luckily there is nothing plugged into that outlet and Pookie always remembers to turn the switch to 'off' before stopping.  I am convinced that he is actually sending a morse code signal.  Something to the effect of 'stuck in my crib, need to be rescued'.  At the very least, he's keeping himself entertained.
