Addicted

It's official. My children are addicted to TV starting at birth. I tried so hard to keep Taylor from watching TV when he was 3 months old. I put blankets over his floor gym thing so he would look at the hanging toys and not the TV. However at 4 months he had a terrible ear infection and the first night he cried and cried...until we put in a Baby Faith video at 4am. That was the only 30 minutes of silence we got all night. As soon as it was over he cried again.

Now Lilly. She isn't even 3 months yet and already looks at the TV. You think oh she's just likes the colors and lights. No the child likes TV. She was in her swing yesterday and it was facing the TV. I had pulled the hanging toys on the swing down so she had them between her eyes and the TV. She would look around them to see the TV. Then Taylor turned it off (miracle of all miracles) and Lilly started to cry. I'm not kidding. She was crying because the TV was off!

Here is a picture of my kids watching the Saturday morning cartoons last week.
