I desperately want to get rid of our television. But I'm admittedly addicted. (We won't even discuss Jeff, who reading this won't even check out the links, because he knows I'm serious.) I think of all the other stuff I might get done without it (like curtains or the ton of books I've now borrowed from the library), and how much nicer it would be to not have Parker hitting it when it is off or pointing up to his videos. The AAP recommends no television for children under the age of 2. This must be why. I don't think television is inherently evil, but I do think that it keeps us from doing more important things. Like reading, or doing the laundry that neeeeeeeds to be done. Of course, then there is the computer. When I had no modem, I actually did get alot more done. I've tried to tell myself that I won't go online for a whole day. It doesn't happen. I said I wouldn't on Sunday ... did. And today ... did. I might not tomorrow, at least not until late, simply because of playgroup, and I won'tbe here during Parker's nap. Sigh.
