Hey Rose Heads! My son, Picard will be three in a couple of short weeks. I can't believe time has flow by so quickly! It's insane. Sometimes I feel like a bad mom because I'm not with him more. I mean, he's at daycare almost eleven hours a day! THEN...you know what I do? I let him watch Dora when we get home so that I can have some peace to cook and get our evening life together. He. Loves. That. Damn. Dora! Don't get me wrong. I don't let the TV babysit him...all the time. Since "school" is back in, we're limiting his TV time but, if I need some peace I whip that daggone Netflix on in 2.2 seconds! As a result, he is IN LOVE with Dora!
It's unreal. I feel like I fanned the flames of this love affair by using the TV to keep him occupied in the first place! I'm definitely not going to eliminate it but, we need a lot more creative play minus any gadget - ie.: cellphones, tablets, etc.
In addition to that, I'm trying to work with him more on his pre-literacy skills and I think he needs to learn HOW to sit still and read and learn. I think too much stimulation is just not good for the babies.
Sigh...what's a mommy to do?
