TV trance


Our children love the tv. Seriously, L-O-V-E. There are times that I have seriously considered getting rid of the darn thing, so that Aaron doesn't ask to watch it all of the time! Then I remember that I really like the tv too!

We have limits on tv time and ways that Aaron has to earn time. For example, if he doesn't take a nap, he doesn't get to watch any tv. We started this when Aaron was having a hard time taking his daily nap. Now that he's in school, this may change. Generally Aaron watches 1-2, 25 minutes shows per day. We will often watch a movie on the weekends (and have popcorn), which he loves. Aaron didn't start really being interested in the tv until he was almost 2, but not Maggie. In all fairness, Aaron was hardly exposed to the tv before he turned 2, so he probably didn't really have much of a chance to know if he liked it or not! Maggie loves the tv already and will sit and watch with her brother!
