Play, play, and more play:) We discovered Veggie Tales silly songs on youtube.com this week. Samuel wants to watch the hairbrush song over and over and over! He is glued to it and then says please in his sign language to play it over again. He's never watched any kind of movie or cartoon, so it is pretty funny to see his reaction to it. Kind of scary though too! I'm sure he would just sit glued to it all day if I let him!

I was reading again tonight about how it's not advised for a child under 2 to watch any form of TV. I guess it's the leading cause of obesity which makes sense but, also is a cause of ADHD. I'm not sure how I feel about the ADHD part but, the first two years of life seem like a pretty crucial time period for brain development... don't want to mess it up with some cartoons:) I do have to admit that it's nice for when the dishes need to be done or I need to get in the shower without a 1 year old following behind me... so, hair brush song you have been my lifesaver this week but we will keep you limited;)

Well his dad never watched TV until he was about 5 and that didn't stop ADHD.

:) That's what he said too and he's the one more adamant about him not watching anything. Dave didn't have the H did he though? I thought he had ADD.

I believe that is right. And it is a tough call. Perhaps there is a compromise!
