Our FABULOUS new routine!

Since Logan was about 2, and he use to ask me every morning when he woke up, "Turtles?"(one of his first words) and point at the tv, we've pretty much turned the tv on first thing in the morning. Frankly, it gave me a chance to catch some extra, MUCH needed ZZZZZs. BUT for the past month, my kids have NOT been watching any cartoons in the morning-(UNLESS it's a morning I clean houses.) This has been the most amazing thing for my little buggies. Logan will lay on my bed for HOURS....and I am not JOKING...HOURS and play with a stack of toys like above. The child has a FABULOUS imagination and I love hearing his little played out stories. He cracks me up. And PEOPLE...it still gives me time to sleep a little more, get my work out in, and shower! It's been simply AWESOME!

good for you!! maybe i should try this... my kids watch entirely wayyyyyyyy too much tv. ;( and like you said it's because i need the extra zzzs or i'm busy doing something. have you noticed a change in behavior at all, or did you not reallly have much behavioral problems before that?

They have stopped asking as much and really it more a peace of mind for me! Knowing that Logan is using his imagination more and his brain...more movement...exercise...that kind of thing. we also turn the music on and Logan's been singing a tons of christian songs he's been learning. All around...I love it. He gets to pick out a movie in the afernoon during Peyton's nap time...and play the wii with his daddy a few times a week. It's just great and I thinks it's a good routine with him starting preschool next year. As for peyton...she hardly sits to watch it anyways;)
