Yesterday the hubs left once again heading out to work. Since we have been dropping him off at the airport Monkey has been doing great with understanding that Daddy has to leave again for work. Before he left this time we bought a recordable book from Hallmark. Hubby recorded it and I locked it (which was a good thing because the first thing Monkey did was push the buttons that would have erased it all) and now that book has to go every where with him and if he puts it some where it can not be moved. His "Daddy Book" as he calls it is currently upstairs with him in bed. I think that it was worth the $30 so Monkey can hear his Daddy's voice whenever he wants to. Next time Hubby is home we plan to make some video of Daddy reading books with Money and playing with him so that he can see his Daddy whenever he wants to because Skype isn't always an option.
Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales. We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested. This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
