I caught an episode of the Super Nanny recently in which the children in the episode were watching TV and playing age inappropriate video games all day long. The children’s behavior didn’t even surprise me when I saw the parents saying “well we didn’t really think TV would have any effect on the them.” Despite being nominated for a POTY award the couple learned that while it’s not realistic to throw out the TV these days, it is completely necessary to filter.
Toddlers are very observant little creatures. Remember the pile of crap on the porch? My Craigslist items are selling and people are stopping by the house to claim their items.
Today one very pregnant mom-to-be came to pick up a sling. Chibby wandered out onto the porch with us. He stopped directly in front of the giant walking belly (I’m not kidding folks) and stared up. Then he smiled, lifted up his shirt and rubbed his belly. No worries sweet Chibby…your perfect little belly button will pop out like a button on a turkey.
I’m standing in the kitchen making sippies and I hear my son, who has stripped his clothes all off because he’s a nudist, toddling around the corner, his diaper making that little crunchy sound and his how-are-they-sticky little feet making that thwick thwick thwick sound.
