We also have the rainforest waterfall thing that Fly is addicted to even at 2.5 years old.<br /><br />*And* I recently started letting him watch an episode of Little Einsteins on the iPod at naptime because I'm tired of chasing him and struggling to get him to sleep. I think this will be short-lived, however, because I think he has learned how to work the iPod to play the episode again and again....Damselflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139191935886860839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-41533658006982968792009-05-13T08:35:00.000-04:002009-05-13T08:35:00.000-04:00I've had similar thoughts.

My mom did put a television in the room of my youngest brother (the youngest of five, she was tired), but I can't remember how old he was at the time. He would fall asleep to videos.mephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074153090546740903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-56949315462857530142009-05-12T23:13:00.000-04:002009-05-12T23:13:00.000-04:00We have that same rainforest thingy!

She's happy, I'm happy, and I have energy to start the day off. <br /><br />You do what you have to do and really, you take damned good care of her everyday as it is, not like TV in crib would be a babysitter!Tatiana @ averygoodyearhttp://averygoodyear.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-30766656370890797142009-05-12T13:25:00.000-04:002009-05-12T13:25:00.000-04:00I read in one of those free Parents mags (the ones...I read in one of those free Parents mags (the ones you get at libraries) that cheerios and PBS kids programming were on a list of ways to get that extra hour of morning sleep. No joke. It suggested (if all other alternatives have been tried) to give your kid a snack, turn on Sesame Street and go back to bed. For some reason that little nugget of advice stuck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-90784631858974685922009-05-12T13:22:00.000-04:002009-05-12T13:22:00.000-04:00There's very little I wouldn't consider doing for ...There's very little I wouldn't consider doing for an extra hour of sleep in the morning. Knowing my son, though, that TV would end up sucking sleep away from me, because he would decide that he needed to test its aerodynamics by hurling it at his dresser at 5 am. Maybe they make toddler-proof TVs that can be bolted to the wall and still have a button to push to play happy cartoons.Ozhttp://babble.com/CS/blogs/knockedup/default.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-60787034809674998132009-05-12T11:42:00.000-04:002009-05-12T11:42:00.000-04:00hee hee - I would so do that too!hee hee - I would so do that too!tiarastantrumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081471547238465133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861518104298318602.post-41319562975941159942009-05-12T10:59:00.000-04:002009-05-12T10:59:00.000-04:00Some mornings I would do just about anything to ge...Some mornings I would do just about anything to get an extra hour of sleep in the morning. <br /><br />I think it would be good to have a motion sensored TV.....like if they pat the screen it comes on....and it automatically starts playing Ni Hao Ki Lan....that would be so cool.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600383182524144171noreply@blogger.com
