Our TV Junkie

One of Alexis' nicknames around our house is TV Junkie. She loves the TV. Now, before you kill me, I promise I don't turn on the TV and sit her in front of it. I even make sure it isn't on most of the day. It's just when it's on, she's looking. She doesn't stare at it for a whole show. She just glances over here and there. (She really likes The People's Court theme).

So I keep reading that babies should NOT watch TV. I feel so guilty sometimes, like I'm ruining her if she even glances at a TV. Still, something tells me seeing a little bit of TV isn't going to ruin her for life.

So, yeah, we have a TV Junkie on our hands. I swore to myself this wouldn't happen, but it did. I mean, who can resist the colors, movement and sound of the TV? Admit it. We all are compelled by TV (Except for commericals. Commericlas are the bane of my existence. They make me want to not buy a product). I think this is just part of living in a technological world. I'll definitely have to teach Alexis to balance TV watching with fun play (and lots of it!)
