Our "No-TV Rule"



Ahem.

Jude was real crabby the other day, so we sat him down on the living room floor and put in a baby DVD. We've only done this once before when he was sick. (Generally he's not allowed to watch TV, but we made an exception because he was in the foulest of foul moods. Plus an age-appropriate DVD doesn't count as TV, does it? I'm saying it doesn't).

It definitely looks like we let him watch the Kardashians on a daily basis. But these were so stinkin' cute and he looks so tiny in them, I couldn't resist (with the necessary explanation, or course). Click to enlarge.

P.S. We try not to be totally anal about things. Once Jude has passed his major developmental milestones (around age 3 or so) we'll be a little more lax on the TV viewing. A little. As in Sesame Street. But not Barney. "But what if he likes it?" I don't care. He won't know whether he likes it or not. Because he'll NEVER SEE IT :)

Dad and I are going nuts. We can't make the second one bigger. Do something!

P.S. Confession - When we are babysitting on Saturday nights, we just sit Jude in front of the TV pretty much the whole time. Hope you don't mind.

Oh ha ha Mom. Can you hear me flipping out?

Sorry about the second one... I'll fix it tonight so you can pore over it.

Chill out Mama!! Save the no evil TV rule for when Jude is off to school.

No way Ant! He's got better things to do than watch a flashing screen - like learn to walk & talk ;)
