Sunny Day!

I am happy to report that to Tara's potential dismay, I finally taught my boy how to watch television!

Yes, I've read the reports. I grew up watching countless hours myself and am aware of the costs. I ran research experiments on the effects of TV while in college. I've had the conversation re: TV pros and cons with many over the years. Some of those folks were psychiatrists. Some parents. Some teachers. I told Kelly (mother of two) about this today. She was happy for me and recognizes television benefits. Her kids watch TV, play sports a nd read books.

Harry is no couch potato. When I say he watches TV, it is just slightly longer than the intro song to Sesame Street. After about 4 minutes, he gets up, *turns off the TV, closes the cabinet, and goes about his business.

***Along with closing up the TV, Harry can also fetch. He can get his shoes, he can find Grandmom and give her a kiss goodbye, he can retrieve a diaper and close the drawer...he knows what almost everything is now...including Bailey's feet which he is not supposed to touch!
