Micah and the T.V.

Marcus and I, the silly new parents that we are, thought that we could continue watching t.v. for a while before our child realized that the television even existed. Boy were we wrong! Micah has discovered the t.v. and we have figured out that, unless we want to groom a future couch potato, the t.v. has to be off when he's awake. He isn't crawling yet, but he is "wiggling." We have been setting him down to play in his "gym" with his back to the television. That trick worked for all of about 24 hours before he learned to twist his body just enough to be able to see the lights and colors. Today, he started watching t.v. upside down! I use a boppy to allow him to see and play with his toys without laying on the back of his head . . . he pushed with his feet until his head was hanging over backward off the pillow so he could watch the images go by . . . he generally hates tummy time, but will tolerate it if he can see our 50 inch screen. Sooooooooo . . . no t.v. for Micah and no t.v. for Marcus and Spring. He's just too young to be watching t.v. We may have to let him watch something for a few moments so Marcus can take a picture of this somewhat comical sight.
