TV Time

We try not to watch a lot of TV at our house, but sometimes we give in. We got into a habit of letting Sadie watch a show most nights over the winter because it got dark early & it was cold outside so we were stuck inside trying to keep her up until bedtime. When we do turn it on, we usually watch Nick Jr. or Disney Jr. - she is happy with either :) She used to stop & watch it for a few minutes & then she would go on her merry way playing. We have hardly turned it on lately because we spend so much time outside. Last night was one of those rare occasions where we ate dinner late, so instead of going back outside, Bryan turned on the TV to let her unwind before bed. She is much more focused these days!

 

 

As soon as he turned it on, she ran to her chair to sit down. She was mesmerized! We were watching Henry Hugglemonster & she got even more excited when they started singing & dancing on TV:

 

 

She popped right up & joined in!

 

 

I know some people are anti-TV, but I am amazed at some of the educational shows that are out there these days & I personally don't think that 30 minutes here or there is going to hurt her :) Especially, when it's cold, dark or rainy outside!
