Videos are his passion! As the mother of a young man who draws nonstop from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., I understand! They are his art & soul!<br /><br />I am wondering if it might be interesting to get for Nicky a video camera -- a simple one from Staples, for instance, that has a one-step process that allows him to plug it into his computer's USP so he can begin to "make" and playback his own videos. This might move him away from Big Bird and Barney and onto "The Shadow Show," "The Nicky Show," "The Mom Show..." <br /><br />He'd be reaching out socially with a camera between him and people instead of a remote between him and the TV monitor. You may have already tried this, but it's an idea...and he's so good at puzzles and writing. I'll bet he'd be a cracker-jack camera jockey.dearpruhttp://www.fiftyisthenew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361535934739316898.post-58067366672983408512009-04-29T20:52:00.000-07:002009-04-29T20:52:00.000-07:00I feel your pain.

Right now his obsession is me drawing him truck pictures. In the pictures he wants the people in the trucks to all wear helmets and have helmets in the back of their trucks.<br /><br />He wants them now! I tell him when I can do it and that makes him happy. If I say later, he gets really mad. He loves Barney, Elmo, etc videos too. He really likes the one where Elmo visits the firehouse. <br /><br />I feel your pain taking the movies away. I'm too much of a wimp to do that. I know about them getting obsessed and it leading to more obession.
