We didn't get television at our old house. We had a TV, but you could only watch movies on it; there was no cable. Now that we do have cable, it will be interesting to see if we succumb to television watching.From what my husband tells me, it is not uncommon for some members of his family (the men in particular) to get mesmerized in front of a television, regardless of what is being shown. I think J is right, mostly because I've seen how entranced he can get by something as mundane as a Comfort Inn commercial (although, granted, some of those commercials can be pretty funny - have you seen the one where the lady says "Beautiful!" after she gets caught picking her neighbor's rose? Anytime J or I say "Beautiful!" we have to say it in that woman's nasal voice; if one of us says it, than the other one inevitably ends up saying "Beautiful!" too).
Anyhow, it looks like Sam might follow in the path of his mesmerized forefathers. About a week ago we sat him down for his first television experience, watching an episode of "Baby Einstein." And instantly, he was mesmerized for about fifteen minutes (which is a record for such a wiggly-piggly boy).
Who knew that learning about the atmosphere could be so captivating?

Sam is so cute! Carter loves watching Sid the Science Kid on PBS. He also loves anything with the Muppets. I am amazed at how long they can keep his attention. The latest thing he does that cracks me up is he watches Jeopardy! with me every night. He sits beside me in his own rocking chair for the whole half hour and claps politely whenever he hears the audience clapping. He looks at me every time I shout out an answer and I always assure him that I am right :) It is a nice way for us to unwind before he goes to bed.
that second photo is beyond darling. love the politely folded hands.
What an adorable picture! I hope you are doing well in Seattle! It looks like you're pretty moved in already!
GOSH he is beautiful!
That's how I look when I watch "The Office"
:)
He's getting so big!
PS-- did you hear about that big study looking at language development in kids who watch Baby Einstein?
