tv time

Ethan has never been too interested in TV.  When he was around 8 months old we tried some baby einstein videos because other moms said they were a dream - kept babies occupied and happy for a long time.  We of course sat with him and tried to interact with the videos, but Ethan didn't care for them at all.  His attention span was about 5 seconds, too.  I just kept thinking how nice it would be to not have to "play" all the time - a little passive fun is a welcome treat with a toddler.  He is just now starting to get a little interested in the TV (I know, mom of the year for pushing the boob tube at my son).  But there is a lot to learn from TV.  I watched MTV all the time and it taught me everything I know (right, mom?!).

Back to Ethan, he is starting to enjoy sitting in his chair and watching some TV.  We are up to about 3 minutes of interest (this is a HUGE amount of time for a toddler I think).  The 3 minutes is also a nice small break for momma and dada! 

Hi favorites?  Sesame Street and The Cat in the Hat.  Probably because those are the only shows we have on the DVR!
