No T.V.

So I made a new rule where there is no TV allowed during certain times of the day.

TV had somehow slowly crept into our lives so it was on (even as background noise when we were doing other stuff) almost all the time.

So I have now replaced it with music for background noise and don't turn the TV on until 8pm. MLO usually goes to sleep shortly after that, so there is almost no TV time for her at all.

I am very happy with this as we go outside, play, talk, color, read and do so many other things.

I think this is very important for kids that they don't get over exposed to TV and instead move around and see their world. There is so much to do without TV that you don't want to miss.
