WHY did I do that?!?!

My son was playing all by himself as good as ever. Drawing on his magnadoodle, singing to himself and I was watching Oprah about the half ton teen. For SOME reason unbeknownst to me...I turn the TV to Wow Wow Wubbzy! He was playing FINE then I put the TV on for him and he of course stops all activity to sit and watch TV. Right then and there I wanted to kick myself in the butt because I completely diverted his attention from using his own imagination to watching someone else's. I'm glad I did this. This has been a great lesson to me. Less TV all around.

I don't think TV is the devil or is evil. I actually think it's great in moderation, but I'm so used to turning on the TV for him when he's awake and I'm sure that's not a good thing. Just thought I'd share that because I'm sure I've done this several times, I just took notice of it today.
