TV Junkie!


I am wondering if this is a phase that all babies go through at some point! Lately, all Gabby wants to do is watch videos! Whether it is during the week or on the weekend, anytime we are home she runs around saying, "bo bo" for Elmo and pulls her Dora couch out and sits on it patiently waiting for me to start her video. I have recently figured out that "bo bo" means that she wants to watch any video not only Elmo! Now, anytime I say, "want to watch a video" she runs as fast as she can into the living room and plops down on the floor to watch closely as I put the DVD in the player! Goodness, I always thought I would be the mom that limited her child to 30 minutes of tv a day! I remembering trying this, but I think I failed. I think we watch way more than 30 minutes at this point! I just keep reassuring myselt that it is all educational things like Baby Einstein(her fav is Nursery Numbers, My Neighborhood and A Day On The Farm). She is not really into the long movies yet. Thank goodness! Any ideas from my viewers out there on how to break this habit???

Uhhhh...we got Sophie her own flat screen and mounted it to her wall in her bedroom. I couldn't stand watching "Annie" one more time! So I'm probably not the best person to ask advice!

Nooo....definitely no advice here. Addy has been screaming for "wora" CONSTANTLY lately. Lily went threw the phase, but has grown out of it finally. Gaby is adorable on her little couch!
