Eli does but he watches Mickey Mouse Club House, Handy Manny. Good things and not a long time. Alot of times though they may hold his attention for 15min but that is 15min of freedom for me!:hehe:

I keep the tv on all day except during school times. I like the noise and I like certain programs.

My boys run in and watch a few mins of a show here or there or just stay long enough to watch the theme song be done. Its rare that they sit and watch a full show or movie.

They watch Disney Playhouse shows(Mickey Mouse, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins,etc). Thats what they watch more of and if I have one of my shows on or a game show then they watch bits and pieces while flitting about playing. Sometimes its just filler noise and we are doing something together play-wise.

Conner is the same way! He is way to busy to sit and watch tv. Sometimes I wish he'd just sit still for like a half an hour and be quiet while watching tv. :hehe:


The little boy I use to watch, he was around Conner's age and was obsessed with TV. He would watch it all.day.long. From the time he got up to the time he went to bad. I am glad Conner isn't like that but I mean would a half an hour kill him? lol

Oh yeah Matt is the same way and it drives me nuts :eyeroll: He'll sit for his Baby Einstein DVD (which DH and I are ready to fling it out the window) but that's it. And even sometimes that's a hit or miss.

He does like the create channel commercial. Weirdo.

You know what show my boys WILL sit still for the whole time??

How Its Made on the Discovery Science Channel...go figure. I gave birth to 3 children thrilled with sciencey stuff while I cant stand nor understand the subject.:hehe:

William is a tv addict! I feel bad about it and really need to cut it down, but while he is watching it he is playing too. He just watches it in the morning until after breakfast. He likes Sesame Street or Plaza Sesamo, Curious George and Sid the Science kid. DH tries to have him sit and watch tv all the time but that's for a different reason. He wants him to sit and be quiet when Daddy is watching him. :eyeroll:

DH wants Matt to be quite while he plays video games. he gets mad at me for cursing but it's okay for my son to watch blood and guts. Oh and I think Matt broke his ear piece :lol:

We have the TV on pretty much all day but Ben is usually too busy running around to pay much attention to it. We watch Kids' CBC then PBS until naptime then Treehouse after that. I do turn it off at dinner time because Thomas is on and Ben loves that show (dammit).

That was Cash until after he turned 2, he would watch bits and pieces of Thomas, Noddy, Barney or Teletubbies, but after about 5 minutes he'd wander off and want to play. Now if he's in the right mood, he'll watch something he likes for a good half hour to an hour. I know it's not great for him, but with him not napping anymore I will take any down time I can get!

We also have the tv on most of the time for background noise. Talon likes to run in and out while watching. He used to only watch Baby Einstein, then he branched out and also started watching Yo Gabba Gabba on NOGGIN at around 15 months. Now Elmo's World and the other two still. I don't think tv is bad in moderation. It does help me get some things done and helps in that last 1/2 hour or so before bath/bedtime where he starts acting cranky.;)

We have the tv on a lot during the day, it's either on Noggin or disney channel. Ava doesn't really sit and watch it, but if there is music or people dancing she stops what she is doing and joins in.:D

There are a couple shows that she will pay more attention to, but mostly she just watches a couple minutes here and there. I think she listens a lot, she has learned so much from those preschool learning shows.:thumb:

Tyler has his shows, and I wish Lily would sit still a little more and watch some :hehe:
