during jan’s toddler years, we were very strict his with tv exposure. he virtually never watched tv before he was two and even at nearly three, his consumption was kept to about half an hour before bedtime.

with mia, though, it’s more challenging to keep her unexposed. having an older sibling who watches makes it close to impossible for her not to. if we had a large house, it would probably be possible to whisk her away to some other room while jan watches his programs, but as it is, it’s just not possible. even more now that we’ve decided to finally to get a bigger screen plasma tv (there goes my Sony Vaio budget!). she watches in passing, especially when she hears a catchy tune, but unlike some of her friends of the same age, she hasn’t displayed any real interest in tv so far.

oh well, let’s see how long it takes before she catches the bug and get addicted to the purple dinosaur.
