I love what Audrey said, it is so true. And I totally relate to you. I find that when I'm pregnant and dying it's great to have the tv around, but then to break that habit is a bit difficult.Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418891015870635354.post-47261511152679664892007-08-27T07:17:00.000-07:002007-08-27T07:17:00.000-07:00What a cute house, looks like Isaac loves it!

One of the best things about our new home is that the kids have a playroom...in the basement, far away from the TiVo which is loaded with all their favorite shows. Their TV watching has been dramatically decreased and I couldn't be happier.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128842200924663186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418891015870635354.post-17043407186069006172007-08-26T19:24:00.000-07:002007-08-26T19:24:00.000-07:00That is so cute!

I need to find the article you are talking about and read it. It sounds like a good one.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789552637135461032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418891015870635354.post-77765953952206171862007-08-25T20:26:00.000-07:002007-08-25T20:26:00.000-07:00Brooke,I love the house!!!

It's always more work to do what you should do as a parent. <BR/>We really limit Ryanna's tv time in a big way and I think it's beneficial for her imagination and it has allowed me to teach her more. We are working on reading and violin and she is doing great. Derek and I have talked about it a lot and decided that one of the biggest reasons I stayed home was to be a proactive, involved parent, not just a babysitter. A babysitter would put my child in front of a tv and not care. <BR/>We all have those tv days, but I know the days that end with me planning activities and being involved with her provide me such fulfillment.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472131765391333767noreply@blogger.com
