Having a child is challenging sometimes. I can vaguely remember those days of relaxing and doing things around the house whenever I wanted to do them. Now I do little things here and there to keep a clean house. I think this is where movies came in. When Kayle was younger I put a movie in that kept her attention so I could have 30 minutes to myself and get something done.
After months of doing that, the movies have expanded to much longer movies and now I fear that she is spending to much time in front of the TV. It irritates me because I don't want her to watch a lot of TV, some is fine but I see so much in the news about obese children and not getting enough exercise. That is constantly in the back of my mind. However, I do enjoy it because I love to relax and watch a movie with her sometimes so it is nice to cuddle on the couch and watch one together. Yes, she actually sits on the couch and watches a movie with me! BUT only if it is one of her favorites such as Finding Nemo or The Jungle Book! Kayle has become obsessed with those two and we watch them at least 3 times a day! That is not good. How do I break this? It is something she enjoys doing, that is my dilemma this week. She also knows how to operate the DVD player her self! Yesterday I watched her put the DVD in on the wrong side, she realized it wasn't right and flipped it over then pushed the correct button to close the door. She knows I do something to the TV to get the movie to show. I am worried once she figures that out she wont need me anymore. Babies are smart! Do not ever under estimate what a 19 month old can do!! O h yeah, and her new favorite thing to say is "Uh Oh". SO cute!!
