A Pleasant Discovery

Daniel’s ever emerging attitude is getting him trouble lately.  Privileges are been taken away as punishment.  First his new video game, then his computer and then the TV (am I writing about a teenager or a four year old??).  Except for, I can’t have the TV off all day, I don’t really watch it all that much, I just have to have it on.  So I modified the last punishment a little (hooray for being the Mommy!).  He can watch anything that David and I are watching while he’s up, educational programming or the Animal Planet channel.  No Disney, no Nick, no Cartoon Network.  Basically no fluffy kids programs.

You know what?  He LOVES Animal Planet and actually pays attention to and enjoys the educational stuff!

I’m thinking of keeping the TV restrictions the way they are right now (I will let him watch Disney a few times a week though, I’m not that mean).

So don’t be surprised if the next time you see Daniel, he’s telling you all about animals and space and cooking!
