OK, not what you though I'd blog about... But I do believe that TV cannot replace parenting, and should never be used as a babysitter.
With that said, I just can't help to think that it is very useful in lolling some children to sleep. Case in point, this little guy! :)
My kids love watching toons in the morning as they wake up, and toons in their rooms when they are winding down. I try to keep it limited, but on rainy days, who doesn't love to snuggle up to the TV with a good show?
