When I was still pregnant, I decided I didn't want Leo to grow up in a house where the TV was always on. I decided to limit myself to one hour/day maximum and to try to only watch when Leo is asleep. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Those first couple weeks there was no time to even think about television, and as life began to settle it was nice to introduce key shows we really wanted to see back into our lives in moderation. It's also nice that since we watch things primarily online now the commercials are limited. I was/am really proud of myself for cutting back so much.
Leo has been exposed to some TV. He's seen it on at Grandpa and Abi's house as well as at Pops' house, and even some here at home. And of course he's positively mesmerized by it. It holds his attention more than any toy or person. Oh the irony. I'm still going to do my best to limit it's influence on his early years, but it seems he takes after his mama on this one.
