tv kids = fat kids?
it's all-too-tempting to use TV/videos as a digital babysitter. now that Caleb is crawling, sometimes we'd just like a break from all the craziness, although he usually does quite well with his toys in his room. now there is yet another reason that we shouldnt use the TV a lot, as watching too much (8 hours or more a week) has been cited as a factor for childhood obesity. check it out here. plus it'll melt his brain, and he'd much rather go outside and eat the grass anyway.

It's funny what kids put in their mouths. I had to stop mine from sucking on a rock yesterday.
guess that obesity thing didn't work on you though :)
yeah I think I couldnt gain weight if I tried. seems like Caleb will probably be the same way.
tv must make your kids taller too cuz I swear Josiah grows an inch every episode of Sesame street he watches.
Gid's watched Sesame Street a few times and it hasn't seemed to help his height much. I think Josiah's been hoarding more than his share.
