But, that is how it is with CJ sometimes. Actually, ALL OF THE TIME. Except, we are not always competing with the television right in front of him. We are always competing with the television inside of his head. And boy, does he LOVE to tune everyone and everything out just so he can sing and dance with the song or movie that's playing in the reel of his mind. He gives a whole other meaning to "Go to your happy place".
The urge is often times so strong that some days can be almost a complete wash for communication or education. (Notice I said "almost"). I always tell people to COMMAND his attention. Sometimes I clap my hands, or bang the table three times (it must be three) or just look him square in the eye (even if he's not looking back) and say, "CJ! Stop it!!! I want you here with me!". A constant battle, all day, every day. But I will always be there to annoy him. :)
