i definitely share the fear of television addiction, though. on the rare instances my son watches, i actually feel startled by how much of a zombie he becomes.

For reals. Following their advice made me feel like a good mommy, and I’ll take any affirmation I can get. But Whitney set me on the path to watching a 12-minute episode of The Wonder Pets when I was nursing baby #2 while entertaining baby #1.

Sigh). Anyway, I also agree that I avoid it mainly b/c I’m afraid of getting addicted to having a toddler sit still for 3 minutes and be allowed to breath. Couldn’t have that now, I’d never go back!

So far, he really isn’t interested in it at all. We can get him to sit still and watch cute videos of baby animals on you tube–that’s about it! I am just glad to know I’m not the only one fearing baby tv addiction. I figure he will have enough time in his life to zone out and be a couch potato–no need to encourage it now!
